The school was oversubscribed in 2020 and prior to 2011.
On 5 October 2001 the admission arrangements were reviewed by an independent adjudicator who decided:
On 26 October 2001 Stephen Timms, then Minister of State for School Standards, in a written answer, gave an assurance to Chris Grayling MP that the funding of the school would be safeguarded despite the ending of grant-maintained status.[5]
The school has four houses, named after Famous Race horses from the Local Darby.
The ties (burgundy with diagonal white stripes) feature the school logo situated just under the knot, over a stripe of the colour denoting the house of the student.
