The school is run by Falkirk Council Education Services on behalf of the Scottish Government.

[7] At the end of 2023, 96.21% of school leavers entered into a Positive Destination, which was above the Falkirk (94.2%) and Scottish (95.9%) averages.

In November 1977, an extension to the school was opened at Carrongrange, around 500 metres from the Main Street campus.

From 1977 to 2000, the school operated on a split-site basis, and this meant that between lessons, pupils had to walk (potentially up to five times per day), between the two buildings.
