The Green School


The Green School, also known as The Green School for Girls, is in an all-girls secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Isleworth, west London, England. It also has a new boys school situated across the road.

History

The Green School was originally a Sunday school for girls founded in 1796. It educated girls rejected from the heavily oversubscribed Blue School. The name supposedly originates from the fact that the school away gave free green clothes for the girls to wear as a uniform. In 1906 the Duke of Northumberland whose estate was Syon Park donated a new building at Busch Corner in London Road, Isleworth, which is still occupied by the school. The junior school closed in 1919. Some of the buildings suffered damage during the Blitz in 1925 on three separate occasions. The school campus underwent some renovations and additions over the years but still largely occupies the original buildings.
The school's mission has always been for the children to go to school in a friendly and safe environment.

House system

The Green School splits girls into five different houses from Year 7 to Year 11; each house is named after a tree and has a distinct colour.
