Villiers High School is a mixed foundation school located in Southall in the London Borough of Ealing, West London, United Kingdom. The school has approximately 1,140 students[1] and around 80 teaching staff.
History
The school first opened as Southall County School in 1907, changing its name to Southall Grammar in 1945. In 1963 the school merged with Southall Grammar Technical School (a boys' technical school, which had been located in Beaconsfield road) and was renamed Southall Grammar Technical School, under which name it ran for 11 years, until it was named Villiers High School in 1974.[2] In 2009 the school has been extended by the addition of a sixth form.[citation needed]
In 2003, the school was one of three to receive £3000 from the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund for its work with refugee children.[3]
Since 2004, the school has taken in a small number of refugee students from around the world, some of them from war zones,[4] and has pupils from a variety of countries.[5] These students are often teamed up with a welcome prefect who helps them for two weeks, and are assessed by a teaching assistant; language education is tailored to each student's needs.[4]
In 2009, the school gained national attention with a number of technology-related projects.[6][7][8]
