Eric Wright Construction completed the £22.8 million multi-phase project which began in November 2010.
The work involved demolishing and refurbishing the existing school to establish a 1,220 place secondary school, 210 place primary school, sixth form and place of worship.
Pupils and students now have access to new and modern facilities, including science and computer labs, 40 contemporary classrooms, a fitness gym and a new school hall, dining hall and staff facilities.

The sixth form learning centre offers ultra-modern facilities with the introduction of a communal area with quiet spaces for study alongside a separate learning resource centre.
Designed and commissioned by Nightingale Associates under the Blackpool Building Schools for the Future and Primary Capital Programmes, the scheme amalgamated both primary and secondary facilities within a single footprint.
The final phase of the project involved moving Christ the King Catholic Primary School and Christ the King Parish Church onto the site.
John Wilson, managing director of Eric Wright Construction said: "We are very proud to have been involved in this multi-phase project which will change the face of primary, secondary and further education in the area.
"This scheme also provided us with a platform to provide employment opportunities for budding builders thanks to the Apprenticeship Training Association which saw us, our supply chain and subcontractors recruit apprentices to work on the project."
