Between 2014 and 2018 the whole of the school was rebuilt and refurbished during Michael Johnson's tenure as headmaster. There has been much student speculation around the design of the new main building which has the appearance of the letter "J". Some have claimed this to be a deliberate memorial to Johnson himself, with the "J" representing his surname. This, however, is merely speculation.
