The School has outstanding facilities including a large hall with stage lights, gymnasium with changing rooms, outdoor heated swimming pool, extensive playing fields, a large play area, a new purpose built multimedia library, music room, art room, an ICT suite housing 14 PCs, food technology room and an outdoor environmental educational area.
