In 2010 the school began construction of a new building designed by architects AWW, at the upper school site that houses a sports hall, theatre, cafeteria, fitness room, music classrooms, music practice rooms and an open learning centre.

The school offers the Bath Education Trust Award, which is a combination of academic study, work experience and leisure interests, which helps to develop the broad range of skills and competencies that employers seek.
