The College currently has 53 teachers and an administrative and support staff team of 48 Towards the end of 2008 a major building programme is due to begin under the government’s Building Schools for the Future programme, when over 11 million pounds will be spent on the College to equip it for education in the 21st century. At this time the old “Shetland” and “Clydesdale” buildings are due to be demolished and replaced. Completion is due in 2010.
At its most recent OfSTED inspection in November 2005, the Inspectors identified the school as having “a potential for excellence,” receiving “Good” in every category. The College enjoys a good local reputation and an historic tradition. Its achievements in Sport and the Expressive Arts are well known locally. Academic standards have risen steadily over the past few years. In 2007, 71% of the students gained 5+ A*-C grades at GCSE, placing our school at 10% above the national average. We were in the top 2% of schools nationally for the value added at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. We recently received an Award at a celebratory dinner at BAFTA in London from the Specialists Schools and Academies Trust for the Most Improved Specialist Engineering College with the most improved 5+ A*-C results from 2004-2007 by 10 percentage points or more in the country.
The College has been twinned with a school in Tokyo, Japan since 1996 and with a school in Dalian, China, since 2005, sending and receiving students and teachers between the schools.
