The grounds are located on the Dublin Road, just north of Bray. Although, officially, it is over the County Dublin border, it usually referred to as being in County Wicklow and part of Bray. The current building was opened on 5 September 1956, and accommodates approximately 360 students.

The school celebrated its fiftieth year in 2006, thus marking its Golden Jubilee. This led to a presidential visit, and the go-ahead for an entirely new school building, due to begin construction in the summer of 2016.
