It is a member of the Brooke Weston Trust and moved into a new building in September 2012. As of September 2023 there are 1327 students enrolled throughout the main school and the sixth form. After the end of the 2022/23 Academic Year, multiple high-level teachers left the school as well as key-staff, including the principal, Tony Segalini and the Year 10 Head of Year.
