this school is a disgrace if you want your child to leave this school with no knowledge this is the school for you. they will constantly yell at for even showing emotion. my son has been left crying in corridors multiple times due to this schools poor pastoral support. if your child is currently at primary excited to go to this school i would reccomend you tell them not to get there hopes up. they will leave with extremely damaged mental health due to the schools poor effort to make the child feel okay going in and out of school. as much as this school likes to cover up these obvious mistakes the truth will come out about how this school really treats there pupils and puts words into there mouth and twists the stories. they class everything as “misbehaviour” you could be having a panick attack and understandably not want to go into school due to high anxiety and this school would still ring you up and tell you to bring your child in and they will support them. the child then might think they will be ok in school but instead they will feel even worse. my son often comes home with tears in his eyes and it really upsets me to see a school like this claim to support there students but treat them like dirt on the back of there shoe. how this school got an ofstead rating of outstanding i will never know but again they do put on shows whenever a visitor comes. they will hide there “misbehaving”/ “troublesome” students into isolation so ofsted does not see that side of the school. this school needs some work done because this is absolutely atrocious
teachers are horrible at dealing with situations that require more attention especially if you have needs that require a minimal to a lot of attention. the children at this school are very poorly behaved around the local community and they do not care about any of their pupils and strongly believe that your academics come before anything else in life which is very harmful to a child’s mental health which again they do not pay attention to until it is to late. DO NOT GO HERE!!!
mums don’t go ruislip high it’s such a bad school if u want ur kid to get banged in the face then send them there but they are vile the students there always screaming throwing stuff all there is is cover teachers it’s so bad and if u send ur kids there your kid will want to die wallahi don’t send ur kids to ruislop
high the teachers don’t do anthint about bullying and all they do is make students cry and they are horrible and it is not a safe school people bring innapropriate items to the school and there is such violence kids are always getting beat up don’t send ur kids there and the food is shit
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.
