History
Since 2005, major developments have occurred. A new block was built for the teaching of Humanities and a sports complex has been constructed in place of the old tennis courts.
In January 2013, the school was placed into special measures by Ofsted,[4] following an inspection in November 2012 that rated the school as inadequate on a four-point scale of outstanding, good, satisfactory and inadequate. In 2016 it was rated as requiring improvement.[5]
The school became a Sponsored Academy from January 2014 in partnership with the Castle School, Taunton.[6]
Notable former pupils
At the 2016 Summer Olympics a former pupil Edward Ling won a bronze medal in Trap shooting.[7] Another former pupil Tom Nichols is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bristol Rovers in League One.[8] Another former pupil is Paul Williams the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham.
