The Chestnut, Hampshire, Mountbatten, Nobel, Peveril, Rose, and Science Centre buildings each host a collection of the college’s academic qualifications.

[6] The Rose Building was constructed in 2006, at a cost of £7 million, to provide facilities for subjects including Sport, Media and the Performing Arts.

[9] The library underwent a £500,000 refurbishment in the summer of 2011, increasing the study space available and doubling the amount of computers.

[13] The college has over 60 A Level and Vocational courses available, alongside a programme of enrichment activities called Q-XTRA.

Recent productions have included The Addams Family, Sister Act and a 1950s Immersive Theatre event where the college was transformed into an American High School from 1958.

The TASS Dual Career Accreditation Scheme, run by Sport England, ensures elite athletes can compete at the highest level whilst studying.

[26] As well as the clubs and societies led by staff, students are encouraged to set up and run their own groups within the Q-XTRA programme.

[27] The Barton Peveril Jazz Ensemble won their section of the National Festival of Music for Youth in 2009.

Other extra-curricular performing arts opportunities include shows, for example in 2012 the musical West Side Story,[28] and the annual Rock Challenge dance competition.
