From August 2024 we will have a roll of around 460 young people in S1-S4, and are excited to start our first year of our senior phase.

All of our learning spaces are digitally enabled and include specialist areas such as our performing arts facilities, hospitality kitchens and science super lab. Our school also includes 4 classes in our severe and complex needs provision, the Brae. Our classroom spaces are all designed to maximise natural light and our staff consistently comment positively on the sense of collaboration that the building offers.
