About
In September 2002 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as a Technology College. The college was also awarded a second specialism, and also had Training School Status.
In 2008 it was reported that the school was paying sixth form students to teach younger pupils at the school, instead of employing qualified supply teachers whose quality of teaching the school had sometimes felt to be lacking. Twenty-four students were being paid £5 for fifty minutes of teaching a subject, which they were studying at A-level. The students were given training and were accompanied by an adult in the classroom.[3][4]
