 The school subsequently enjoyed greatly improved GCSE examination results; however, its 2005 Ofsted report regarded it as "inadequate" (one grade above "failing") overall, although "well placed to move forward".In the subsequent Ofsted inspection in 2008 however, after being placed in special measures, the school was rated "good".On 29 October 2007, Calderdale Council announced that the school would be closed down.
