The only High School on the Island, this is a good school with a good track record. Busses bring pupils from all over the island to the school which is fine in the summer, spring and autumn months but in winter some of the roads become impassable so getting to school may be difficult if not nigh imposable - good for the kids, bad for the parents!!

During the summer months it is not unusual to have classes outside, for example art classes on the beach. The school itself is modern, clean and the teachers are top notch. read more
