In the early 1990s, the ROSLA block was gradually sold off to the Westfield Centre, with a major extension to the building being completed by 2003.

A refurbished £500,000 Science Block (The Newton Suite) was officially opened on 28 September 2007 by the Mayor of South Ribble and Suzanne Hall (Hollyoaks actress).

The students and staff are divided into four houses Dragon (red), Griffin (blue), Phoenix (yellow) and Unicorn (green).

In 2004, together with the Wellcome Trust, the BBC launched a national photographic competition inviting entries on the theme of 'How is Science changing us?'

The competition focused specifically on developments in bio-medical technology and was open to both individuals and group entries from schools.

The officials were in constant radio contact with each school, to make sure every pupil could keep the footballs in the air for ten seconds.
