The school's motto is Qui veult peult (Norman French:'Those who want to, can').
The mixed gender school is for students aged 11–18 and entry requires passing of the 11-plus tests for those aged 11-16. It admits students from across the Bailiwick of Guernsey. However, students from other secondary schools in Guernsey who want to pursue A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme transfer to the school after GCSEs.
The current school is the result of the amalgamation of the old Girls' and Boys' Intermediate Schools. The school was opened in 1985 and the current headteacher is Elizabeth Coffey.
The school had one student who was awarded the Victoria Cross during World War I.
The Sixth Form Centre was opened in 2005. It was built to accommodate the rising number of students wishing to continue their education after GCSEs, studying for AS and A Levels. The school was awarded the Healthy Schools Standard in 2005.
