My son passed away (suicide) due to bullying and the so called teachers did nothing! He needed help and they turned their back!
The whole year was billing him and they were aware of it!
Disgusting on so many levels…
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.
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.
Pros:
Teachers are pretty good, many make lessons entertaining
Languages and Politics are taught very well
Cons:
Rubbish at sorting out issues with bullying
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, 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.
