The accommodation includes a food Technology room which was refurbished about 10 years ago. The room has adequate provision for the investigation of food products.

The remaining rooms are grouped in a building purpose built around 20 years ago. There are two multimedia workshops which were originally woodwork and metalwork rooms, one graphics and one textiles room which were both refurbished three years ago.

All rooms are well equipped and this provides a stimulating work environment for pupils.
