Since 1988 it has been an educational trust The school is in the process of improving and developing its facilities. This school is on one site which extends to 62 acres, incorporating a small pond, lake and many acres of woodland and pasture. The pond and lake are excellent curriculum resources although they are potential hazards. Recent developments have been: a new kitchen with a room above; extension to the dining room; new laundry and domestic facilities; upgrading to the boys? changing rooms; completion of a new boarding wing.
