Pinner High School
Pinner, HA5 1NB · Harrow · secondary school
2nd of 13 secondary schools in Harrow we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 591 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3/10 among them, against 9.1/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 69.7 · 91 | 30% | 2.72 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.71 · 91 | 25% | 2.28 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 57.1 · 89 | 10% | 0.89 |
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, 69.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 57.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.71 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in April 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.3 out of 10 among them, against 9.1 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can access instrumental lessons.
Getting in. The school has 1135 pupils in a capacity of 1162, leaving 27 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 27 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new intakes? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national figure, what specific support is offered to help pupils close that gap? How does the school support students who do not attend a breakfast or after-school club?
