[5] On 1 October 2010, it became one of the first schools in North London (second in Barnet – after QE Boys) to convert to an academy after an invitation from the Coalition Government.

Originally this block dating to the early-mid 1970s served as administration and was the centre of Ashmole School.

The school moved into the new Main Building in September 2004 and it holds the majority of available facilities/subject including: Reception, Sports, English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Modern Languages, IT, Art, Library, Refectory and the Hall.

This building holds Science, Media, Food, Graphics, Textiles and Resistant Materials.

The demountable was originally the IT room but then served from 2004 as Curriculum support and then from 2006–2014, Music 2 (MU2) before being demolished to make way for the new Sixth Form Centre.
