The buildings also include a number of further specialist areas; seven fully equipped science laboratories, two large business standard ICT suites and art and technology departments. In addition, the subject departments have well-maintained classrooms with, modern furniture and classrooms. Outside there are excellent facilities for football, hockey, athletics and it also has six superb tennis and netball courts.
