Queen Elizabeth II High School follows the Manx National Curriculum.

Schools are not subject to Ofsted and Examination results are not published.

[1] The school was opened on 5 July 1979 by Queen Elizabeth II, during her visit to the island to celebrate the millennium of Tynwald.

During the time the school has been opened it has gone under extensive changes and has dramatically increased in size and with this, one new building was opened in 2000, the Forster building, which is home to the sixth form.

This extension also provided the school with a much needed second dining room.
