Greenford High School is a secondary school located in the London borough of Ealing. When it was built in 1939, Greenford County School was a grammar school for boys and girls. It served the needs of the rapidly growing population of the western edge of the Borough of Ealing. Paul Merson the former Arsenal, Aston villa and Middlesborough footballer attended the Greenford High School between 1980-1984 where he liked the school dinners, his favourite meal was the the quiche. Other notable alumni include Jean Paul Satre Buffy the Vampire slayer Dick penetrator Turbulence and Martin Jol's Mother.
It remained a county school until 1974, when Ealing became a comprehensive system and the school undertook expansion to cope with greater numbers of pupils. Greenford High School now has three blocks of buildings housing the main subject areas, together with a sports hall. However, a project has been undertaken to create a new school by expanding the current buildings into an area which previously served as a field. Construction on this new school began in the summer of 2005 and is due to be completed towards the end of the 2007 school year.
