The buildings consist of the original building which houses two classrooms, a library, a kitchen/cookery area and a large hall, and the new wing (opened in January 2009) which has two new classrooms, a group room, a new staff room and offices. The school day runs from 8:40 am to 3 pm, with a break for lunch from 12 to 1 pm. The school office sells school uniforms that are kept in stock at the facility.
