All pupils study drama and religious studies. ICT is taught as a discrete subject but pupils are also expected to develop ICT skills across all subjects within the curriculum. Each subject has its own specialist suite of rooms and facilities include eight science laboratories, two new drama studios, a new music suite, and six workshops for technology including specialist facilities for food and textiles. There are five specialist computer rooms with additional ICT facilities in department areas. The school is fully networked with e-mail and internet access for all subjects. Facilities on site for sports include a large sports hall, a gymnasium and fitness area, and a grassed area.
