History and administration
The school was officially opened in November 1938[1] and was re-opened in 1972 by Margaret Thatcher in her role as Secretary of State for Education and Science.[2]
In 2002, the school was awarded specialist school status as an Arts College, which allows the school to apply for extra funding in this subject.
In 2004, its new sixth form building was opened by local MP Claire Curtis-Thomas.
Headed by D. A. Mackenzie, the school now accommodates over 1,000 students.
