Welcome to the Education sector, which is designed to provide Ruislip residents with information and articles on local educational institutions and activities for the benefit of residents. This is a new sector for the association with some areas still under construction.
Hillingdon Council's music service is to become an educational hub to encourage more children living in the Borough to take up an instrument - one of 122 new hubs across the country supported by the Arts Council. Over the next three years the music service will benefit from £928,198 of funding from the Arts Council. Fees for those taking part will be frozen until 2014.
The whole Bishop Ramsey School community will be working on the exciting ‘Zero Waste School’ project with Groundwork Thames Valley this year to try to create ‘zero waste’ within the school and at home. The aim of the project is to involve students, staff and parents in the project, raising environmental awareness and putting into action some simple steps to reduce our carbon footprints.
The students will carry out a home waste and energy audit followed by actions to reduce energy and increase recycling at home.In late February the school will take delivery of a bank of wormeries which will help to digest their food technology and canteen food waste and produce large quantities of liquid fertilizer

In 2005 the Ruislip Residents’ Association agreed to sponsor a permanent exhibition of Bishop Ramsey CE school artwork at Mount Vernon hospital. The idea was for the school on an annual basis to renew the work on display.
The display can be viewed along the corridor of the Princess Christian Unit near Minor Injuries Unit.
