The school does not teach by means of the Gaelic Language. All Aberdeenshire Schools are co-educational, providing education for both boys and girls.[2]

In November 2013, an inspection by Education Scotland branded the school as "weak".[4][5] However, the following month the school received commendation from Education Scotland, stating that they had made "positive progress" since the school adopted an 80-point improvement plan.[6]
