The current principal is Keiron Powell, with Tracey Hatton as Head Teacher.

[2] The school previously held specialist Arts College status with additional specialisms in Science and Maths.

In the GCSE years (10 & 11), two additional bands are introduced (independently of the original two), L and K. Pupils are split between the two bands for compulsory lessons (P.E and PSHE), but GCSE lessons are independent of this.

In these two years, the original Stockton and Appleton are observed only for assemblies and pastoral periods.

The school continues to take part in pupil exchanges to Martha's Vineyard, and Germany.
