The building is bright and spacious, and the huge 30 acre site provides outstanding outdoor learning facilities. A new £24m building for the Academy was completed and opened in September 2012, providing state-of-the-art facilities for students and staff.

Specialist teaching areas are equipped to a very high standard. The building comprises excellent indoor and outdoor sports areas, a tiered theatre, and a Learning Resource Centre that is extensively used by the students for personal study.
