Buildings
The school is made up of a number of buildings. The 'Manor' across the road is home to the English department, the practice music rooms, 6th form common rooms, a media studies room and a D.T. room. It still harbours many traditional features, including the ceilings and fireplaces. The 'Grange' is also an old manor house, with stained glass windows and original staircases and fireplaces. It is home to the library, study room and offices. In addition, there is the 'New Building' which was first built in the 1970s but was further extended in 2009. This building has the majority of classrooms as well as 6 of the 7 computer suites. Finally, there is the 'Learning Centre' which is an ICT equipped building consisting of two classrooms with laptops in, and opened in late 2004.

Famous quotes containing the word buildings:
“If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
