Story

Highbury Grove School is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school in the London Borough of Islington. It covers the age range 11 to 18 (as part of ic6 sixth form college which teaches both A-levels and BTEC courses) It is classified as a Community School, specialising in music. The head teacher is Tom Sherrington who took over from previous headteacher Henry Jones. Well over half of the pupils have been assessed with learning difficulties, disabilities, or literacy, dyslexia or language needs as well as there being a school joint to the same building called 'Samuel Rhodes' (a school helping people who have needs and disabilities). In Highbury Grove, a sizeable proportion of pupils have English as second language. Over half the pupils are from Black Caribbean, Black African and Bangladeshi groups and about one third of pupils from Turkish and other minority ethnic groups. In its latest Ofsted report (December 2016) the school was described as "inadequate" other than 16-19 provision, which was assessed as "good". The school moved into a new, modern building on the same site in December 2009.HistoryHighbury Grove School began life as an all-boys comprehensive in 1967. The founding headmaster was Dr Rhodes Boyson. It was created out of three former boys' schools in the area, Highbury Grammar School, Barnsbury Boys' School, and Laycock School, as part of a comprehensivisation scheme by the then Inner London Education Authority. Boyson introduced a regime of strict discipline, including caning for misbehaviour. Excellent academic results were achieved, and the school was soon heavily oversubscribed.Boyson left in 1974 after being elected a Conservative MP; in the 1980s he was to become an education minister under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

I loved to work within such lovely and helpful children.
It looks like a good school and all, but I really don’t see anyone passing their GCSES.... Thats kind of a shame. GCSES are what you’ve been studying for the entire time. Most people like this school because it is new. It is good to give it a try but the old school was really trash. School is strict too.
Not flexible with regards to open mornings. Was an unwelcoming environment. Even my daughter said she didn't like the atmosphere. Personally it wasn't a pleasent experience
Very good school definitely recommend it to you
Good school so far maybe I’ll change my mind
It's going to be my secondary school and from the opening I loved it #OBSESSED#but for now it's 5 star
Cyber bullying is taking place in the school. School have full knowledge of the situation but have not taken the necessary measures to deal with it.
A school finding its way after being messed around by the ridiculous Ofsted inspection system. Still running the excellent programme that gets every child to play an orchestral instrument during their first three years and gave birth to Music in Secondary Schools Trust.
I don’t go to this school but I like it
Went to highbury grove in the 70s loved it and made great friends learned alot just want to say thanks
