The college is dominated by its Victorian Gothic style chapel.

The school made the news in an embarrassing way in 2002, when a teacher invigilating for pupils sitting a mock AS-level examination accidentally displayed pornographic images of women to them, forgetting that his personal computer was linked up to a monitor.

It is alleged [1] that Princess Eugenie of York and the actress Emma Watson will be starting at the school in the summer of 2003.
