Queen Elizabeth II High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen Elizabeth II High School is a co-educational comprehensive school in Peel, Isle of Man. It is commonly referred to as simply "QE2" and teaches the years 7-11 as well as a sixth form for years 12-13. The school's motto is "Strive to do your utmost, always" (Manx: Gleck dty share dy kinjagh).
The school was opened on July 5, 1979, by Queen Elizabeth II, during her visit to the island to celebrate the millennium of Tynwald and since then has grown to a student population of around 850 and a staff population of around 50.
The current Headmistress of the school is Ms Moore, and deputy head is Mr Conway.
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.
GCSE Manx is offered from the age of 12. One of the feeder schools is Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, a Manx language primary school in St John's.
