The buildings and facilities include teaching blocks, specialist areas, sports hall and a floodlit all-weather sports centre. The Edinburgh Centre, provided by the trustees of the school, the Worshipful Company of Brewers, is an up-to-date Information Technology centre.
The school has been granted Language College status from September 1997, and will benefit from a new Sixth Form and Language centre, equipped with multimedia computers, which is currently under construction.
The school has an admission number of 200 and a total roll of 1300.
