Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School

Ruislip, HA4 6EZ · Hillingdon · primary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
8.6/10 Well above average

5th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 3,030 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 8.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 80.0 · 88 40% 3.51

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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2 out of 10 among them, against 8.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Tennis Club, Musical Theatre, Spanish, Coding Club, and Fun Fest Holiday Club. Sports include Gaelic Football, Gymnastics, and Dance. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 642 pupils in a capacity of 670, leaving 28 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the Fun Fest Holiday Club? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for new starters?
