About Frithwood Primary School

Frithwood Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 104 applications for just 37 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.81. Of those 104 applications, 31 were first-preference choices, and all 31 of those families received an offer. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Hillingdon area. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey result, the combination of high first-preference conversion and significant oversubscription is a reliable signal that existing families are satisfied. The school is a mixed, state primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2024, and has maintained that standard since at least its previous graded inspection in 2015.
