The percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is also broadly average. The school gained specialist status for science and performing arts in June 2005. Artsmark Gold was awarded for the second time in May 2005. The school has been a training school since 2000. A new headteacher took up post in September 2006. In the summer of 2010, construction as part of the BSF (former governments Building Schools for the Future program) began. Building work continues as of 2011. The work should finish October 2012. Students are now housed in temporal accommodation while the school is being torn down and rebuilt around them however pupils will be moving into the school in July after two delays.
