In 2017 Glossopdale Community College started to build a new purpose-built school on the playing fields of the Hadfield site.

The new building would cater for all year groups and end the split site system that operated for nearly 3 decades.

The school was part of a successful pilot scheme, and subsequently offers C3 – a combined humanities curriculum – to Years 7 and 8.

The new building includes facilities, from a community room to a large multi-use sports hall.

Over the years, the choir has performed at festivals and won awards[citation needed], and also made appearances on BBC television series All the Small Things in 2008.
