About Dr Triplett's CofE Primary School

Dr Triplett's CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in the London borough of Hillingdon, where it ranks 20th out of 55 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it in the top half of local schools, though it sits behind the three highest-scoring peers in the area: Deanesfield Primary School, Whiteheath Junior School, and The Breakspear School. The school is mixed gender, ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site and a current roll of 451 pupils against a capacity of 420. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2016 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. This represents a clear improvement from the school's previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement across both overall effectiveness and leadership.

In the 2023/24 key stage 2 assessments, 71% of pupils at Dr Triplett's met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is seven percentage points above the Hillingdon local authority average of 64%, and places the school in the top 50 nationally for this metric. Reading was a particular strength, with 86% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 39% achieving the higher standard. Maths followed closely, with 80% at expected and 38% at the higher level. Writing saw 77% at expected and 18% at the higher level. Average scaled scores were 106 in both reading and maths. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points. The school does not have a sixth form, and its exam results only cover primary phase.

The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 131 applications for 54 places, a ratio of 2.43 applicants per place, and all 52 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. Facilities include a Forest School, a sensory room, a chapel, a library, a gymnasium, dining hall and playing fields. Sports on offer are gymnastics, football, athletics and rounders, and clubs include chess, coding, eco club, book club and science club. The school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. For families weighing up options, Dr Triplett's offers solid above-average outcomes in a Church of England setting with a strong local reputation, though the nearest Outstanding-rated primary, Yeading Infant and Nursery School, is only 1.3 km away.
