The catchment area serves the west side of Cumbernauld, Condorrat, Eastfield, Croy, Kilsyth and Moodiesburn.

They also have young people from Glasgow, Chryston, Muirhead, Balloch, Abronhill, Carrickstone and Westerwood where parents have chosen to send their children to St Maurice's rather than other schools.

The students are grouped into five houses for assemblies, registration classes, school award ceremonies and sports days.

These are named Benedict, John Paul, Boniface, Innocent and Francis after previous popes.

The name of St Maurice was chosen since he is the patron saint of the town of Bron in France, the 'twin-town' of Cumbernauld.
