The school recently moved into a £35m building on a large, pleasant site with good access by road or rail, which is within easy reach of the M4, Cardiff, Newport, and Bridgend. The school is popular in the local community; pupil numbers are very strong with a large waiting list in Year 7. A recent Estyn visit, March 2022, recognised the high-quality teaching and learning of the school as a "notable feature" where "as a result of outstanding provision within the majority of subjects, many pupils make rapid and secure progress".
