Founded in 1962 we are a modern, forward-looking mixed school with academy status within The Diocese of Westminster Academy Trust. We have 8 forms of entry and a 6th Form. As a Catholic school, we serve the whole community of the Borough of Hillingdon and beyond, welcoming Catholic students and others who wish to join us.
I was appointed in September 2022 and am devoted to ensuring the very best education for every student, with each individual expected to perform to the best of their ability. The Douay Way permeates the school day.
There is a corporate atmosphere in which both students and staff know that they are working towards a common goal to better themselves and become excellent citizens, in a progressive learning environment which combines traditional values with the very latest technology and learning techniques.
Staff are dedicated, motivated and determined to enable students to fulfil their potential. All pupils are treated as special to meet both the needs of those deemed Gifted and Talented as well as those with Special Educational Needs.
