School uniform
It opened in 1906 as Castleford Secondary School, a grammar school for both sexes. It aimed to teach girls with male staff and boys with female staff, which was not common for that time. It joined with a secondary modern school in 1970 to become a comprehensive school. School uniform was abolished at the same time. From 1989, a partnership was developed with Hickson &amp; Welch, a local chemical company and school uniform was re-introduced and the school became a Technology College. From 1995, a new drama theatre was built.
