Help with Hillingdon Secondary Schools

[Tentomummy]

Does anyone have any recommendations for Hillingdon secondaries? We are in Ruislip. DD is going into Y5 and we need to make some decisions. We had always thought Bishop Ramsey would be our choice, but I’m hearing some worrying things about finances, changing leadership and staff leaving from some fairly reliable sources...

Bumping this for you, OP.

Bishop Ramsey always has had a good reputation. I went there myself. I would be wary of online reviews as people often only go on to post negative things. It would be good if you could find a current forum to speak to parents on.... can the school itself recommend anything?

Thanks. I think it is going to be difficult this year as I’m not sure schools are even running their open evenings. I realise people may have negative opinions but the questions was about all hillingdon schools - I have no experience of any school other than Bishop Ramsey (where I went too) but we will definitely not be choosing that based on reviews from people who know it (not online). I was after others’ opinions on secondary schools generally in Hillingdon, Bishop Ramsey or other.
