Catchment area
Location
The school is located next to Forres Swimming Pool and is also near to Applegrove Primary School and is a short walk from both the TESCO store for Forres and the high street.
The building
The school's building has been deemed below standard, having received a D for the building's condition.[4] Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) has been found within the structure of the current building in August 2023,[5] causing a temporary closure to the school in September 2023.[6]
Plans for a new building have been approved by the Moray Council, and is expected to be in use by autumn 2028.[7]
