Newnham Junior School
Ruislip, HA4 9RW · Hillingdon · primary school
2nd of 54 primary schools in Hillingdon we can score, 65 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 8.6/10 against 3,948 of them, against 8.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2024. 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 (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Guitar, Yoga, Calligraphy, Embroidery, Spanish, Creative Tech, Musical Theatre, and Art clubs. Sports include Tennis, Netball, Basketball, Cricket, Football, Gymnastics, and Cross Country. Arts and music options feature Speak Up Drama, choirs, Ukulele, Film, Street Dance, Baking, and Drawing clubs. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 350 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 10 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 10 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? How does the curriculum support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific support is available for children joining the breakfast club?
