History
History
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.
