announced its intention to combine all of the school facilities onto a single site. In September 2005, following the completion of a multimillion-pound extension, they were amalgamated at the Guy's Cliffe Avenue site in Leamington Spa. Introduction of uniform Pupils were allowed to wear casual clothes of their own choosing; a rule in place from the school's foundation. In March 2002, after prolonged discussion, and in the face of considerable opposition from parents, students and teachers, the school governors decided that a uniform was to be introduced the following school year. During the following months parents, students, and the school's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) fought to get the decision overturned. Under a newly appointed temporary head, plans to introduce the uniform were put on hold in September 2002. In October 2003, a uniform was finally imposed for new-starters for the following (2004/5) school year. Pupils organised demonstrations, and lessons were boycotted in protest against the way the decision had been taken. The school stated that parents of pupils starting at the school wanted the uniforms and characterised the protestors as not being representative of the majority view, and the PTA was criticised for lobbying the parents, pupils and teachers to continue the protest. The Member of Parliament for the area became involved, inviting the Archbishop of Birmingham to intervene and help to resolve the disagreement. In November 2003, at the annual meeting of the PTA, a clear majority of parents supported a vote of no-confidence in the governing body, calling for them to resign. The protests failed however, and on the first day of the 2004/5 school year, new pupils arrived at the school wearing the uniform.
