Comprehensive
It became a comprehensive in the early 80's.[citation needed]
In December 2000, three sixth formers were jailed at Minshull Street Crown Court for four years each for the robbery of £400 from a Manchester businessman using a replica gun.[1]

An Ofsted inspection undertaken on 25 January 2012 judged the school to be "good", both overall and in all four areas covered by the inspection.[2]

Three schoolboys who pulled off an armed robbery they had planned in between lessons at a top Roman Catholic high school were sentenced to four years' custody yesterday. The trio held a wealthy industrialist at gunpoint in his home after one posed as a policeman. Two other boys supplied a replica gun and a mobile phone while a sixth pupil designed a fake police warrant. A seventh boy was asked to lend a pistol from his toy gun collection.
