Rickmansworth School

Outstanding school. All the bigger kids when you come in to year 7 are really friendly. Great staff, great facilities and great education. Big school, but you will get used to it. Great location. The teachers adapt to YOUR abilities and good extracurricular clubs on offer for early morning before school, break, lunch and after school. Great food. I highly recommend this school for any year 6s that want a good future.

I had an awful experience at this school and as did many of my friends. I was left very unsupported by staff and many students including myself had experienced bullying, which was never dealt with no matter how many complaints and simple requests were made by parents and students. They are extremely dismissive and discouraged me from my subjects of interest. When I finally moved to a different school, my mental health had improved and I had achieved much higher grades than I had been receiving at Rickmansworth as I was supported and encouraged instead of ignored, as all children should be. I am forever grateful I was able to transfer to a different school, otherwise my mental health would have worsened and I would not be attending university currently.

Senco department is a failure. No reply to emails since July (it's December). Several parents in the same situation.

Shocking school, abandoned child at home for over 6 weeks, no work set and no support given. Not a good choice if your child has opinions.

the teachers are either really good or really bad and the substitutes aren't very good either

My child is in Year 10 and has had a mixed experience at Rickmansworth School. On the positive side, the teachers are knowledgeable and the school's facilities are impressive. However, I've been disappointed with the lack of communication from the school about my child's progress and the limited availability of support for students who need extra help.

My child is in Year 7 and is enjoying their experience at Rickmansworth School. The teachers are approachable, and the school's values of respect, courtesy, and consideration are clearly evident. I appreciate the school's emphasis on academic standards and the opportunities for students to develop as individuals.

We are so impressed with the welcoming and cohesive staff at Rickmansworth School. The facilities are top-notch, and the extra-curricular opportunities are excellent. Our child is thriving in their first year, and we're grateful for the school's focus on pastoral care.

The school provides an astonishing learning programme

staff do nothing about bullying and school is filled with drugs and violence

Amazing school , great facilities

Not bad but they are way too strict on sixth formers and treat them like the younger years, if not, worse. Managed to get good GCSEs and some teachers are really supportive but others literally couldn’t care less. Overall I’ve loved my years at Rickmansworth & the people in my year are so nice, never experience any bullying etc. so despite its faults (no school is perfect), I would definitely pick it again given the choice (hence why i chose to stay again for sixth form).

its ok, some teachers are useless but overall the schools good, only thing i would say is a major fault is the lack of help when a student is being bullied.

As a former parent, I can attest to the exceptional education and care provided by Rickmansworth School. The school's focus on pastoral care and its commitment to helping students develop into well-rounded individuals are truly commendable. I'm proud to have had my child attend this outstanding school.
