Barnhill Community High School, sometimes shortened to Barnhill, is a coeducational secondary school located in the Yeading area of the London Borough of Hillingdon, England. In 2012 the school converted to an academy.[1]
Its predecessor, Barnhill Secondary School, was originally opened in 1950, and celebrated 21 years in 1971. Barnhill Community High School replaced the old Barnhill Secondary Modern (converted to Comprehensive by Hillingdon Borough Council in 1974) School after it had been previously demolished.[citation needed] The new school was established in 1999 in response to growing need and immense pressure from the local community.[citation needed] It was the first Private Finance Initiative (PFI) school to be set up, but the second to open. In 2015, a new Executive Head, Tracey Hemming, was appointed. [citation needed]
The school is part of a Multi-Academy Trust, the Barnhill Partnership, with Belmore Primary School.[2]
The school was inspected in 2012 and judged Good.[3] In 2016 a short inspection was carried out and again the judgement was Good.[4]
In 2017, Preetmal Poonith, a mathematics teacher at the school, was awarded a Silver Pearson Teaching Award for Teacher of the Year in a Secondary School.[5]
