Guru Nanak Sikh Academy is a heavily oversubscribed secondary school in Hillingdon, and the numbers suggest parents are keen to get their children in. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 117 first-preference applications for just 111 total places, with an oversubscription ratio of 2.68, meaning nearly three families applied for every available spot.

The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, with a standout Outstanding grade for behaviour and attitudes. This suggests a calm, purposeful environment that parents clearly value. The school is a Sikh faith school but welcomes pupils of all backgrounds, and its 4-18 age range means families can stay put through primary and secondary years.
