The main architectural feature of the new buildings is a semicircular tower which in some ways echoes the towers of Claypotts Castle, just up the road. It is a refreshing change from the rectangular grey-white concrete block style of school building which provided so many blots on the urban landscape in the 1960s and 1970s.
