About us
Laxey School is situated in the village of Laxey, around eight miles north east of the capital, Douglas. It serves a mixed catchment area consisting of owner-occupied properties, local authority housing and some farms. Forming part of a Federation with Dhoon School, just a short drive away along the coast, the overall responsibility for both schools lies with the Executive Headteacher, Maxim Kelly, and the day to day organisation of Laxey School is overseen by Craig Astin, Head of School.
The school was opened in
1929. It is housed in the original building, with an extension
which was opened in 1999. The school operates across different
floors with stair and lift access to the sports hall. Laxey
School benefits from a large number of classrooms, a youth wing,
kitchens and dedicated dining room, sports hall and changing
facilities, and a substantial playground area with recreational
equipment and a climbing wall.
Our indoor learning
environment is stimulating, purposeful and vibrant, reflecting
our high standards.
