The sixth form and business studies building was opened in September 2010 in order to allow for the ever-increasing student population, replacing the previous facility, now known as the hill block. The new sixth form building features a quiet study area, a cafeteria, surrounding classrooms, and a large communal atrium where students can socialise. The atrium is also used for assemblies and school events.
