[edit] Trivia
- The roof of the main hall contains a significant dip about a quarter of the way along the ridge. Some think that this appears to be a structural problem, but it was actually purposefully done to give the roof a likeness to the bow of boat.
- The school's motto, in Manx Gaelic is "Gleck dty share dy kinjagh", which translates in English as "Strive to do your utmost, always"
