The school has its own swimming pool facilities,[2] which it operates itself and is used by local primary schools. In 2003, the school celebrated success in securing a £850,000 bid to build a new sports hall, after going 30 years without one. The sports hall can accommodate four badminton courts, and was completed in 2004.[3] The hall is available to the public by casual and block bookings.

In late November 2011, as part of the school's conversion to Academy status, the Governing Body announced that the school would be renamed as Tarleton Academy from January 2012.
