International House Manchester

International House Manchester

United Kingdom

nternational House Manchester has four Directors, Katie Hayes, Peter Hayes, Michael Brennan and John Glew-O’Leary.

Pete and Katie taught English. They met in Verona, Italy. They taught together at the Bell School, Prague. They decided to get married there, which was nice. From there they moved to teach in Italy, Canterbury, Oxford and Cheltenham. Finally settling in Gloucester. Katie started to work in a bank, Pete became a Director of Studies.

Mick loves football. He always has. At school he loved football and Blackburn Rovers FC more than he loved studying. But he did both as well as he could. He became Community Development Manager at his beloved club and he graduated from university in Sport Science.

Pete had the idea to start a summer junior English and football course. Mick understood what he meant. Together they made that happen. People wanted a year long football course, so they started one. Katie left the bank and started to work with them. She was good at maths.

Pete and Katie loved International House. They worked for them and studied there. So in 2014 they were both very happy to make their school “IH Manchester”.

John is a good teacher but an even better manager. Pete, Mick and Katie all liked John very much. So they made him a Director in 2018.

And so here we all are. All with our different skills and specialities, working together to make IH Manchester work best for its students. We all care very much about our school, so tell us if you want us to know anything at all to help make it better.

Education in United Kingdom

The education system in the UK is also split into "key stages" which breaks down as follows:

  • Key Stage 1: 5 to 7 years old
  • Key Stage 2: 7 to 11 years old
  • Key Stage 3: 11 to 14 years old
  • Key Stage 4: 14 to 16 years old

Generally key stages 1 and 2 will be undertaken at primary school and at 11 years old a student will move onto secondary school and finish key stages 3 and 4.

Students are assessed at the end of each stage. The most important assessment occurs at age 16 when students pursue their GCSE's or General Certificate of Secondary Education. Once students complete their GCSE's they have the choice to go onto further education and then potential higher education, or finish school and go into the working world.

Our overview of the education system in the UK is divided into five main sections:

Primary Education

Primary education begins in the UK at age 5 and continues until age 11, comprising key stages one and two under the UK educational system. Please visit the British Council page for more information on primary education.

Secondary Education

From age 11 to 16, students will enter secondary school for key stages three and four and to start their move towards taking the GCSE's - learn more about secondary education in the UK and what it will involve. Primary and secondary education is mandatory in the UK; after age 16, education is optional.
