Bishopshalt School
Uxbridge, UB8 3RF · Hillingdon · secondary school
1st of 22 secondary schools in Hillingdon we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.8/10 against 868 of them, against 9.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 70.8 · 92 | 30% | 2.74 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.05 · 98 | 25% | 2.45 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 58.7 · 91 | 10% | 0.91 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, with the most recent inspection in 2026. In 2024/25, 70.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 58.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +1.05 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Societies, Sporting Society, and Giving Time, alongside football, basketball, netball, and volleyball. The school also organises cultural and international trips.
Getting in. There are 1294 pupils in a school with 1311 places, leaving 17 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 17 places remaining? What specific support is available for pupils who need to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? How do the international trips integrate with the curriculum for students who may not have prior travel experience?
