We were opened in 1974 by Dunbartonshire County Council in the Abronhill district of Cumbernauld. Originally the school was housed in an open plan building in Pine Road but the numbers of pupils grew considerably over the next few years and the building could no longer accommodate then so we moved to the present building in Oak Road in 1979. |
| We have 11 teaching and three non teaching staff in the mainstream school and six teaching and six non teaching staff in the Communication Disorders Unit. There are also two clerical assistants. In 1993 a special educational needs unit was established within the school for children with communication disorders with the aim of helping them integrate as far as they are able with the mainstream pupils. |

Pupils normally transfer from primary to secondary between the ages of 11.5 and 12.5 so that they will have the opportunity to complete at least four years of secondary education. Pupils from St Lucy's primary normally transfer to Our Lady's High, Dowanfield Road, Cumbernauld. A well structured programme of primary and secondary liaison with Our Lady's high school assists with the transaction from P7 to S1 and ensures that our children look forward to the challenges of high school with confidence.
This programme includes members of staff from the secondary school teaching a four week block of their specialist subject in P7. A parent information evening is held in the primary school where the head teacher and members of staff discuss aspects of transaction and the secondary curriculum. Frequent meetings are held where the head teachers of the associated primaries meet with the head teacher of Our Lady's and the assistant head teacher for S1. Primary seven teachers and guidance also meet to hand over information.
