Admissions
By 1986 10% of admissions came from Nottinghamshire; the wrong side of the River Trent. By 1988, seven in the first form were from Scunthorpe, described as a 'brain drain'. Scunthorpe's comprehensive schools were not popular. Scunthorpe parents also chose the secondary school in Epworth, Lincolnshire.
