Schools and education

Bishop Arden project update: Due to projections showing the need for secondary school places in Hillingdon continuing to fall, plans for Bishop Arden Free School have been withdrawn and the new free school that was previously proposed will not be built.

Hillingdon Schools Forum

The Schools Forum meets once a half term to discuss a wide range of topics affecting schools.

The regulations require that the Membership of the Schools Forum must include representatives from schools (including a head teacher and a governor), academies and non-school members. The representation of primary schools, secondary schools and academies must be broadly proportionately represented on the forum, having regard to the total number of pupils registered at them.
