The catchment area for the school takes in one of the areas of Cardenden known as Cardenden.

The school is set in extensive grounds with outdoor facilities for a variety of sport.

The school is single storey and was rebuilt in 2010 due to structural concerns identified in the original building. The building accommodates three nursery rooms which offers various sessions for 3-5-year-olds and 2-year-olds. We have term time and full year provision on offer for 3-5-year-olds. Within the school we currently have seven classes.

There is a large assembly hall which is also used for school lunches as well as a well equipped gym hall.
