St Benedict's High School serves the Linwood, Houston, Bridge of Weir, Johnstone, Elderslie, Kilbarchan, Howwood and Lochwinnoch areas of Renfrewshire.

The school's motto is "Ora et Labora" which means "Pray and Work".

The school is laid out over two floors, with three main wings.

These three wings are linked by a large, roughly rectangular social area, known as The Street, which houses the cafeteria, stage and main meeting area for pupils during breaks (Interval & Lunchtime).

The Street also features underfloor heating, three vending machines, lockers, and watercoolers.
