Queen Elizabeth II High School is set in a beautiful rural setting on the outskirts of the small seaside town of Peel on the West coast of the Isle of Man. We are an innovative and committed school, benefiting from excellent facilities, exceptionally friendly staff and a superb connection with the local community.
The school was built and opened 1979 and has continued to be modernised over the years to keep up to date with technological advances. At present there are just under 800 on roll which means we have a real family feel and can get to know our students well. The behaviour of students is generally exemplary, we offer superb pastoral care for our students and have a strong support network for those students needing academic guidance. Our motto means “Always strive to do your utmost”, underpinning everything we do.
The School is proud of the exceptional teamwork and high achievement in all areas of our work with young people. Our examination results are excellent at both GCSE and A-Level. The Manx National Curriculum is taught to all pupils in Years 7 to 11 with greater choice at GCSE. We work in collaboration with other schools to maintain a flourishing and broad Key Stage 5 curriculum.
Queen Elizabeth II High School offers a rich programme of extracurricular activities and there are many opportunities for students to showcase their talents. Students may join a wide variety of clubs and societies during the lunch period and after school. Key Stage 4 and 5 students are encouraged to become involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which allows them to develop new skills and show leadership qualities for life. Sixth form students may also take part in Young Enterprise, Charity Challenge or service to the community as an integral part of their study.
ICT facilities are excellent, pupils have access to iPads and laptops and all teachers are provided with their own laptop. Each room has audio visual and projector facilities. There are excellent sports facilities including an all-weather pitch and a large expanse of playing fields. Music and drama facilities are also good. A new Science and Technology block is being planned.
Teachers take advantage of the fantastic professional development opportunities within and beyond the school. There is a collegiate approach to CPD with many staff sharing their expertise during workshop sessions. Staff can also get involved in the many training initiatives offered by the Department of Education, Sport and Culture which can lead to additional qualifications such as Master of Education. The school is dedicated to career progression for staff and offers leadership training and other opportunities.
