The school has playing fields, all-weather pitches, a workshop theatre, games hall and academic and practical classroom areas.

The school was fully refurbished and upgraded during the course of 2002, as part of a citywide PFI project.

The G-Unit for young people on the Autistic Spectrum opened in the school in August 2000 (which had then been known as the Communication Disorder Unit, then Bannerman Autism Unit, and currently Bannerman Language and Communication Resource).

This was actually the name the Charles Anderson concrete sculpture purchase order was made out to.

The councillor for Baillieston, Jimmy McGuigan, strongly disagreed and he was supported by many residents.
