## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — I highly recommend 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. *(Sep 2025)*
- **1/5** — Dismissive and unsupportive: 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 a… *(Jul 2025)*
- **1/5** — Bad for SEND students: Senco department is a failure. No reply to emails since July (it's December). Several parents in the same situation. *(Dec 2024)*
- **1/5** — Abandoned Child: 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. *(Nov 2023)*
- **3/5** — it's alright: the teachers are either really good or really bad and the substitutes aren't very good either *(Nov 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed experience so far: 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. *(Aug 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great start to secondary school: 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. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with caring staff: 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. *(Sep 2021)*
- **5/5** — Rickmansworth Reviewed: The school provides an astonishing learning programme *(May 2021)*
- **1/5** — ruined my life: staff do nothing about bullying and school is filled with drugs and violence *(Apr 2021)*
