History

The school was built at a cost of £1.25 million and opened in November 1970, around the same time as the neighbouring housing scheme at Whitlawburn. In 2008 the old buildings closed and the school moved to a new campus that also houses a nursery and a special school, Rutherglen High, on a site to the north of the old - which was redeveloped for housing (Cathkin Rise by Barratt).

As of September 2015 the school had 1004 pupils on the school roll and 88 Full-time equivalent staff.
