The school has a Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and are a part of the Chiltern Learning Trust Following the Fisher Education Act in 1918, education became compulsory up to the age of 14 by state funded schools.

The remainder of pupils went to secondary modern schools and were taught a more skills based curriculum intended to fit them for work.

This prompted the school to be re-organised by the Local Education Authority, Bedfordshire County Council.

This did away with selection, all pupils attending similar schools, teaching the same curriculum, based solely on age.

The council affirmed its support for the scheme in 1969 and again in 1970 and in 1974 the reorganisation reached the Leighton Buzzard area.

The former houses were named after the patron saints of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales; George, Andrew, Patrick and David, in 2010, the school changed to a vertical tutoring system, having five houses named after rivers; Orinoco, Lena, Danube, Zambezi and Murray, though the Murray house was removed in September 2016.
