Recent History

Some of the school's expansive playing fields at Pilch Lane were partly sold off for housing development circa 1995, which is believed was to help pay for future renovation, building work and new building development.

The sixth form status of the school expanded in the late 90s starting in 1995 with the introduction of a mixed sex sixth form, work also began around that time of converting nearby Leyfield House for the purposes of sixth form only use. The prospectus' from 1995/1996 makes mention of this improvement but due to unknown difficulties at the time, the conversion of Leyfield House was only completed circa 1997, to the annoyance of the then encumbent sixth formers who had expected it to be ready during their term at Cardinal Heenan.
