Fire
On 16 September 2011, there was a fire reported in the school's Design & Technology block, within one of the Food Technology classrooms, from a faulty tumble dryer. All students and staff were evacuated and the students were later sent home. Two members of staff were sent to hospital, but both were released with no injuries from Furness General Hospital the same day. Because of this, the school was closed for two days, but reopened on Wednesday 21 September to all pupils. The DT block was reopened at the start of the second half term of the summer.[3]
