It has been set up to serve both its local community and the wider Christian community of all denominations. The college is currently housed in the buildings of the former Bishop Reindrop School. These were built in the early 1970's. Specialist facilities are provided for science, technology, ICT, design, sport, art, drama and music. Suited teachings rooms are available for humanities, modern languages, mathematics and English. The library and learning resources centre shares a building with the learning support department, dyslexia centre and student support centre There is a sixth common room, study area and ICT suite. Each house has its own social area. Students are encouraged to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities. Some of these activities such as the homework club directly support the formal curriculum. Others such as gifted and talented programme will enrich and extend the curriculum. There will be dance and music workshops, sporting activities and theatre visits. There is an active and popular Duke of Edinburgh award scheme and regular field trips as recently included France, Germany and Russia. Much of the sport and the music and drama activities will be directly linked to the annual inter-house festivals. The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum and it also provides a wide range of courses at GCSE level including work related opportunities both in college and with partner providers such as Guildford College. The school aims to provide a quality of care for each other that ensures a safe, secure and nourishing environment for learning.
