In 1998 the school was named as the first Beacon School in Somerset and in 1999 it became a Specialist Technology College. In 2003 Crispin became Somerset's only Leading Edge school. The school has a large site with extensive playing fields, a large well equipped gymnasium and a sports hall, an excellent assembly hall and many specialist rooms, an environmental garden, three home economics and textiles rooms, art rooms and a pottery or art room, two music rooms, a dance or drama studio, four design technology rooms including a technology laboratory and a graphics room, four computer rooms and a well stocked learning resource centre and some 30 other classrooms. A lift has recently been installed into the tower block, which enables all the pupils with a physical disability to access all classrooms in that part of the school and also for the school hall. The school has a number of clubs, sports and out of school activities including art club, badminton, basketball, camping, Christian union, computing, cricket and drama. The music department has a splendid tradition of presenting a high standard of musical performance at an annual carol service in Well Cathedral at Christmas and other concerts during the year. The school aim is to provide a broad and balanced general education up to the age of 16, avoiding over-specialisation at too early an age. The school aims to provide a pleasant and stimulating environment for teaching and learning.
