Notre Dame High was the last remaining single sex council school in Scotland until November 2019.

Local parents campaigned for the school to become co-educational in the 1990s[7] but the bid failed at Council committee level.

A public consultation on Notre Dame High's entry criteria was launched in March 2019 and ran for a period of 10 weeks.

Consultation results were released in August 2019[10] revealing that, of the three options proposed, co-education received the highest number of responses (45.7%).
