About Botwell House Catholic Primary School

Botwell House Catholic Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling exam metric for this large Hillingdon primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 46% of Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark. That figure sits well below the local authority average of 64%, and it places the school 50th out of 55 similar schools in Hillingdon. The school’s ranking score of 46 puts it in the bottom half nationally, at the 85th percentile. While the overall picture is mixed, the school’s Ofsted report notes that it remains Good, and the ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed that judgement. The leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good in the most recent graded inspection.
