The Douay Martyrs RC School is a Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Ickenham within the London Borough of Hillingdon, England. It serves around 1,500 pupils from a range of social backgrounds, and its current Headmaster is Mr Anothony Corish.
The school was judged 'Good' by Ofsted in its most recent (2013) inspection report.
The school opened in 1962 with 450 pupils, eventually rising to 862 by 1982.
Douay Martyrs is split into two campuses separated by Long Lane. The Arrowsmith campus contains the original building, and is situated in Edinburgh Drive near Ickenham Station. The Cardinal Hume campus, though older, did not become part of Douay until 1974, formerly being Swakeleys School for Girls, though this was not its first identity. This site is nearer to Hillingdon tube station on Long Lane.
The school puts strong emphasis on its fostering of Catholic moral values. Its mission statement (“To create a Christ-centred learning community where every individual is enabled to fulfil their true potential”) and motto (Pro Fidi Petri) reflect this. Religious courses are compulsory for all years, taking the form of a Maryvale Diploma for sixth formers.
