The Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School, commonly known as The Cardinal Wiseman School, is a Catholic school comprising a comprehensive secondary school and The Cardinal Wiseman School Sixth Form located in Greenford, London, England. Its headteacher is Michael Kiely and its student body consists of 11- to 18-year-olds.
In 2006, it was featured on the BBC's list of 197 schools in England with the best "value added" measures from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4.
It is named after the Catholic Cardinal Wiseman, a Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster in 1850. It was originally opened in 1959, but has been reorganised several times since, including an amalgamation with the Cardinal Newman School in 1986.
It is located on Greenford Road in Greenford, near Greenford Broadway; there are many buses that stop close to it, including the E1, E2, E3, E5, E6, E7, E9, E10, E11, 92, 95, 105 and 282. It is next to, and is often twinned with Our Lady of The Visitation Roman Catholic Primary School, and the Our Lady of the Visitation Church.
The students wear a uniform, consisting of a royal blue blazer, navy and white tie, white shirt, grey skirt (for girls) and charcoal trousers for boys. However, as of April 2007, ties were not required to be worn during the summer term, for a trial period. This rule has now been lifted, and ties are once again compulsory for all students all year. During the summer terms, girls can choose to wear summer blouses which they do not have to wear a tie with.
The uniform for the Sixth Form differs to the lower school. Students are required to wear a black tie with the school crest over a plain white shirt with black trousers or skirts. A blazer is available although most students prefer their own choice of plain black jumpers.
Popular band The Magic Numbers attended Cardinal Wiseman, as well as Jason Roberts, former Premier League striker for Blackburn Rovers and Reading. Also professional Football Player Aaron Pierre, who plays defender for Wycombe Wanderers as did Ruben Loftus-Cheek, a midfielder who plays for London-based club Chelsea
