Currently, the school features individual tutor groups for each year group, with mixed-house groups for Year 7, Year 8, Year 10 and Year 11 whilst Year 9 have remained in their house groups; while most students are not in groups based on their house, during school competitions pupils often compete for their houses. The school also recently became one of eight schools in the United Kingdom to become an ambassador school for the Them & Us citizenship project, as well as becoming part of the PiXL Edge program. Language learning app Memrise also has a good relationship with the school, with founder Ted Cooke delivering talks to students to encourage them in their revision. One of the school's MFL classrooms subsequently became a Memrise suite, with tablets and other equipment to help with revision. The school has recently had visits from a number of celebrities, including chef Mark Wright and singer and businessman Levi Roots of "Dragons' Den" fame. In the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2017, it achieved an overall 'good' rating for the first time in over ten years.
