On 9 February 2024 a "ground movement"[1] was measured at the school, causing temporary closure. Online lessons were provided.[2] The school reopened to all pupils and staff on Wednesday, 6 March.[3]

On July 7, 2023, David Hopkins, deputy leader of Swansea Council, opened the refurbished and remodelled school. It has a new science and art block, a new SLT block, CTouch boards in every classroom, and fresh new interiors and furniture.[4][5]
The school has a cafeteria, a drama hall, 2 gyms, a shared sports hall, multiple rugby and football pitches, an STF facility and is known for its high quality of education and life across many aspects of the school.
