It is currently one of two secondary schools in Bishopbriggs, along with Turnbull High School at Brackenbrae.

In 2021, the school was named "The Scottish State Secondary School of the decade" by the Sunday Times in the Sunday Times School Guide,[3] recognising the "exceptional leadership, top quality teaching and high academic standards that the school provides.[4]" It has also twice been named 'The Scottish State Secondary School of the Year' by the Sunday Times in the Sunday Times School Guide, firstly in 2014 and again in 2017.
