It is a co-educational school managed by the Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board.

[3] Enrolment slowly increased and it was not until the 1960s that the need for a proper post-primary school in the area was accepted, and in October 1965, 44 students and five teachers moved from the rented accommodation into a new purpose-built school.

[3] The numbers continued to increase and by 1976, when students sat for the Leaving Certificate for the first time, enrolment stood at 329.

To cope with the increasing numbers, a new building was officially opened by the Minister for Education Mary O'Rourke on 12 October 1984.

[4] A building extension, completed in Summer 2007, had a floor area of 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft) and provided eight classrooms, a new art room, a science laboratory, a tiered demonstration room, a technology room, a senior engineering room, a general purpose and dining area, a new staff room, a new administration area and extra toilet and cloakroom facilities.
