About

In September 2002 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as a Technology College. The college was also been awarded a second specialism, and also had Training School Status.[3]

In 2008 it was reported that the school was paying sixth form students to teach younger pupils at the school, instead of employing qualified supply teachers. Twenty four students were being paid £5 for fifty minutes of teaching a subject, which they were studying at A-level. The students were given training and were accompanied by an adult in the classroom.[4][5]

The school was one of two that taught the diploma, and the current year eleven students are still completing the course. The Creative and Media Diploma was successfully launched in September 2009.

The Art and Media Studies departments' creative use of digital media has been nationally and internationally recognised as significant and cutting edge.
