About us
Situated in Glen Mona, Maughold, Dhoon School provides high quality education for children from Reception through to Year 6 (ages 4 -11). Forming part of a Federation with Laxey 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 Dhoon School is overseen by Sarah Shimmin, Head of School.
Steeped in history, the original part of our building dates back to 1876, whilst an expansion in 2003 provided a four block classroom teaching area with two activity areas, a multi-purpose hall, changing rooms and kitchen. We also benefit from a dedicated playing field, a substantial enclosed playground, a canopied outdoor learning area and two outdoor learning cabins.
Both indoor and outdoor, our learning environments are stimulating, purposeful and vibrant, reflecting our high standards.
