Pupils travel to the school from a wide area of Counties Down and Armagh.[2] When New-Bridge was founded it was considered that the school would only have an attendance of around 390. Due to its popularity and growth, New-Bridge now has an attendance rate of over 500 per year, and the school continues to grow.[3]

In 2000, the school began to cater for sixth form education, enabling students to be taught beyond GCSE standard at the school.[4]
