About Greenford High School

Over the last decade we have consistently achieved outcomes that have placed us in the top 5-10% of schools nationally for student progress.  We aim for all students to achieve excellent academic results and many gain places at top universities, but we are also a truly comprehensive school which tries to get the best out of every child, whatever their ability or circumstances.  We value our students’ personal development and always support trips, visits, speakers and extra-curricular experiences where we can. We are known for our exceptionally strong relationships between staff and students and for our staff promotion opportunities across many areas of the school.

Our facilities are superb with a university campus style layout, extensive IT facilities, large, expansive playing fields and a purpose-built block for Year 7.  We also have one of the largest Post-16 Centres in London with designated study and support areas.

‘Learning to Succeed’

Our motto encapsulates our vision; we are all on a continuous journey of learning, whilst trying to achieve success in everything that we do. Our aim is for students to fulfil their limitless potential – through perseverance and effort. We don’t select our students, but we do select our staff. Each highly trained staff member is here to support, guide, inspire our students so that whatever their starting point when they arrive, they leave with the world at their feet – equipped and ready to continue their learning through apprenticeships, at university and throughout their careers.
