[1] A new set of buildings as part of a Private Finance Initiative was constructed to accommodate the increasing number of students and was officially opened by Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

The facilities include two sports halls, a rooftop terrace for use by sixth formers, and a separate 6th form cafeteria.

Competitions between the houses are held frequently throughout the year ranging from all aspects such as sports, academia and attendance.

This is in memory of a former student and basketball enthusiast who died in May 2009, during what would have been his final months of compulsory education at the school.

SBHS is a regular participant in the Duke of Edinburgh Award and students in years ten, eleven and the sixth form take part in the scheme.
