Prior to its opening in 1968 there was no Roman Catholic high school in Cumbernauld and pupils had to make a 10-mile bus journey to Kirkintilloch to attend St Ninian's.
The school has always maintained a strong link with the surrounding community, and through pupils, parents and teacher links they are associated with several primary schools from which the intake is drawn:
St Margaret of Scotland Primary School, Cumbernauld
St Lucy's Primary School, Abronhill
St Mary's Primary School, Ravenswood
St Joseph's Primary School, Stepps
St Barbara's Primary School, Muirhead
St Andrew's Primary School, Cumbernauld
The former Sacred Heart Primary in Kildrum was also a feeder primary until its closure in 2000. Like Sacred Heart, Our Lady's was architecturally designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia.[3]
