Building
As part of the Scottish Government's £134m PPP school's capital investment program,[14] a new building opened to the pupils on 19 August 2009, replacing the thirty-six-year-old building on the same site. It was originally slated to open April 2009 but a 2008 fire delayed completion until August 2009.[15]
Controversies
In May 2011 a classroom assistant at the school, 44-year-old Elizabeth Carmichael of Lenzie, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with a sexual abuse of trust after she was alleged to have had an affair with a teenage student.[16][17][18]
