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 650 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]
