 In 2009 it was announced that those entering the school in the academic year 2010–11 would be the last to use the original 1850 site (now called Lower School) in their first year in the school; all years would be taught at the same Darlington Road site and Lower would be sold off.In February 2014, the Governing body of the school resigned "en masse" in response to North Yorkshire Education Authority issuing the school with a Warning Notice under the Education and Inspections Act 2006.In the resignation statement, the Full Governing Body rejected the assertions in the Warning Notice as unevidenced and contrary to the opinions expressed in Ofsted's recent inspection report.
