Parkside Studio College
Hayes, UB3 2SE · Hillingdon · secondary school
16th of 22 secondary schools in Hillingdon we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.5/10 against 764 of them, against 3.5/10 nationally. 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.1 · 59 | 30% | 1.76 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.31 · 1 | 25% | 0.02 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.4 · 48 | 10% | 0.48 |
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, 47.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.4, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -1.31 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than similar peers nationally. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Health and Beauty, Cook and Create, Gaming, Science, Homework, and Drama/Media clubs, as well as Gym and Football clubs. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 61 pupils in a school with 300 places, leaving 239 spare places. 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 improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the small current intake affect the range of elective subjects available?
