Do NOT send your kids here!

Do not send your kids here!
I regret ever sending my children here. This school preaches mental health and consistently tells the students and parents that they are always available for a chat and will help in anyway that they can, however this is not true. From what I have witnessed myself and heard from others, they have a tendency to victim blame, whether that be due to bullying or other things. Some other parents and I have even wanted to go to the school as a group at times to address their absurd way of dealing with sensitive situations. They speak about putting mental health first but then when a student attempts to do that, they are shamed by the staff for doing so. If I could go back in time and not send my kids here, I would.

Why my child can't wait to leave this school

My child is currently at Ruislip High and unfortunately is having a terrible experience of secondary school. The actions of several teachers and heads of department and the constant sanctioning for extremely low level behaviour, e.g. talking is the primary focus of the school. The focus is definitely not academic achievement nor pastoral care. As one head of department stated, " when I say jump, you're to jump, when I say stand on the left, you stand."
No individuality, no confidence building you're just a number.

Prison not a school

If I could choose a school again do it my son ,definitely it wouldn’t be Ruislip High.It is a prison and teacher behaving like a guards .I want my son to develop in a freedom and be safe not constantly stressed.

Overall review

Overall, it’s a pretty good school. The teachers, apart from a few, are genuinely quite nice and good at teaching. It’s strict, but in a good way as it means people are safe, but some things can be unnecessarily harsh. The food can sometimes be nice, sometimes not be too great, but it is nice sometimes.

The truth

The school is full of racists and roadmen and nonces and the teachers focus on the little problems instead of the big ones.
