The administration block was built in 2003, whilst the main body of the school was constructed throughout the previous forty years. Prior to the construction of the new admin block, reception was located in a small room near the main hall, which is now a computer room known as IT 1.

Sixth Form Centre

The Old Edgbarrow Sixth Form Centre (Now Hill Block)

Over 300 students study at the school sixth form, making for a crowded sitting at breaks and lunch. The Sixth Form students differ from the school's pupils in that they wear no uniform.

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.
