Shene School is notable for a number of reasons, notably for the fact that its history involves its current name being the successor to a number of older establishments and for the central position it has occupied on a number of occasions as the centre for state education within the borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. The school crest/logo is an image of some kind of Moose-Reindeer hybrid with a globe on its head.
Shene School has failed in a number of ways, notably for the fact that they have failed to even spell Sheen correctly. The School has also had a ridiculous number of ever-changing headteachers over the past few years, with staff who have worked at the school for many years leaving because they have been forced to do so. Behaviour is continually deteriorating.
The school is also under threat of closure, passing only 22% of pupils with 5 C - A*s. This means, 88% of pupils left with not enough GCSEs to get into college. The locals go through much terror from students, and many say they have reported the crimes that have been committed to them and/or their property, and are ignored by the school.

History
Richmond County School
In the latter part of the nineteenth century there was no reasonable secondary education in Barnes and Richmond-upon-Thames for miles around except for those who could afford private tuition or send their children many miles to school. In the most populous areas of Surrey, (eg Sutton, Wimbledon and Richmond) parents were for the most part obliged to be content to give their children an Elementary education. Richmond County was to be one of a series of new Technical Buildings erected or being erected by the County Council in the seven principal towns of the County.[1]
The school was completed in two stages: the first stage, the major part of the school in 1896, and the second stage, the new south wing in 1901. [1]
East Sheen County School for Boys
Richmond and East Sheen County School for Boys
Shene County Grammar School for Boys
In 1957, Richmond and East Sheen County Grammar School for Boys became known simply as Shene County School for Boys.[1] Shene Grammar School took in its final intake of pupils in September, 1972.
Shene Comprehensive School and Shene School
In a subsequent Borough reorganisation in 1977 the sixth form was merged with another Sixth Form College, Thames Valley and the Technical College at Twickenham to form one large Tertiary College on the Technical college site off the Great Chertsey Road The Shene site became the Shene Comprehensive School. The site is now occupied by Shene School under the control of Richmond-upon-Thames Council.
