In the mid-1990s the school expanded to its current size of 1500. To accommodate this growth 12 new classrooms were built to house the Humanities and Languages faculties. In addition there is a dedicated Sixth Form block including a common room, teaching areas and the Media Studies studios. In 2002 the Lawther Library was opened, which was funded in large part by a donation by Professor Patrick Lawther, a former student of the school. The 300 square metres study area includes a computer resource area and the Careers Library.
