It was the start of a new era for the school in 2002. In the years before pupils had to use two sites, frequently walking between Beach Road and the old Larkholme High School on Broadway.
But the multi-million pound purpose-built school changed everything. These photos go back to that moment in time to show what those early days were like and the pupils who experienced life in a brand new school.
