For Dorothy Stringer this involved the construction of a new sports hall and associated facilities, new music suites, art studios and some new ICT suites.Awards and initiativesDorothy Stringer gained the Eco-Schools Green Flag award in 2000. It was the only secondary school in Brighton to hold this award until 2013. In the late 1990s, the school focused on recycling and improving the look of the school grounds.
