The School Site
Because the school used to be two separate schools, the buildings are quite a distant apart. There are two entrances from different sides of the site. On Langdale Road, there is the entrance to East building (the former Queen Eleanor's), and opposite Meadway there is an entrance to West building (via. Canesworde Road). The most recent addition to the school was 'Central' building in 1999.
Due to the site previously being two separate schools, there is some duplication in rooms across the school. There are, for instance, two gyms, main halls and canteens. Until the completion of Central building there were also two staff rooms; one per building.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or site:
“A man of sense and energy, the late head of the Farm School in Boston Harbor, said to me, “I want none of your good boys,Mgive me the bad ones.” And this is the reason, I suppose, why, as soon as the children are good, the mothers are scared, and think they are going to die.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
