The original buildings were opened in the early 1960s but further development has taken place on a regular basis ever since, such as the library, information technology rooms and science facilities as well as the post-16 learning centre.

Treviglas was the first school in the county to receive Business and Enterprise status and was awarded an overall Outstanding by Ofsted[2] for the second consecutive time in their second most recent inspection (2012).

Computing plays a large part in the college curriculum, and students can progress to Technicians Academy at Post-16, which delivers industry qualifications together with academic A-Levels.

Ofsted acknowledged that the college has outstanding provisions for students who require additional support, including those with disabilities, with the Effective Learning Centre (ELC).

The college offers the full range of academic subjects for those aged 16-years-old and over, with added courses including Accountancy, Enterprise (which supports students looking to start a business), Media Studies, Public Services, Psychology, Philosophy and Ethics, Health and Social Care, Further Mathematics and Sport.

The college has a range of multipurpose sports venues, including fields and pitches, cricket facilities and The Dome - an inflated structure with indoor courts – used by students and community.

The college is also a Hub school for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Learning Partnership[6] as of 2012, and frequently hold performances and workshops with the RSC.

As part of Treviglas’ role as Hub school for the RSC they also stage public performances of Shakespeare plays, which have included Macbeth[7] and Midsummer Night’s Dream.
