History

The school opened in 1962 with 450 pupils, eventually rising to 862 by 1982.[3]

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.

Religious courses are compulsory for all years, taking the form of a Maryvale Diploma for sixth formers.
