Cardinal Wiseman Catholic Secondary, Greenford

[VanessaF]

Hello - I am considering sending my son to this school and would really like to know more about it. Any parents, teachers or pupils out there who could let me know what they think of the school, the teaching and the general standards. What about the fighting with other schools, is this a problem? Thank you.

Hi,

I am an ex-wiseman student who went there for 7 years.

Overall I think the school is excellent. It is a great environment to learn in and the teachers always have time to help you.

Ofsted have been in and rated the school a 1 - meaning outstanding. You don't have to do too much research online to see positive feedback.

Yes there has been school rivalry, mostly with Brentside which is further down the Ruislip Road. This happens in all schools and the Senior Leadership Team go out of their way after school to make sure students get on buses and go home before any trouble starts. The problem is schools, such as the one mentioned above don't have successful discipline within the classroom and have little respect for each other and in turn cause trouble with other schools as they aren't taught values as well as the Wisemans.

If you want your Son to be educated to have respect for himself and for fellow pupils, techers and members of the public, then Wiseman is the place to go.

Thanks that was really helpful, especially from someone who has been there.
