Middlesex, UB3 1DH · Hillingdon · secondary school
22nd 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 — 0.8/10 against 666 of them, against 0.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 30.0 · 17 | 46% | 0.79 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.9 · 0 | 38% | 0.00 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 30.8 · 2 | 15% | 0.03 |
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. In 2024/25, 30.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 30.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.9 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.8 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Film & Screen Saturday Club.
Getting in. The school has 495 pupils in a capacity of 600, leaving 105 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their current attainment and the national median? What specific support is available for students who are falling behind in Progress 8? How does the school utilise its significant spare capacity to maintain high teaching standards?
