Patrick Stewart was a student at the MFG and, in September 2011, he opened the school as an academy.[1] The school is rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2008 and again in 2012.[2]
In 2013 a new extension was added to the sports centre which includes a state-of-the-art Dance Studio and Gym.[3]
The school has undergone major renovations, completed by September 2014. This included a brand new Music, Drama and DT classrooms as well as a redeveloped quad area with ramp access for students, requiring some old buildings to be demolished and kept down.
