In the financial year 2020-21, work was undertaken to transform two toilet blocks, within maths and languages wings respectively, into tutorial-sized classrooms. Work to renovate and landscape the year 11 outside zone was undertaken. Funding helped to finish the new bike rack area, including a bench surround was also completed. This work reflected the pressures placed on the school infrastructure by the measures introduced to reduce COVID transmission, including an increased number of pupils travelling to school by bicycle and each year group having their break and lunch times outdoors in specific zoned areas of the school grounds.
