About Harlyn Primary School

Harlyn Primary School in Hillingdon is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 401 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running very close to full. The demand is evident from the 2025/26 admissions data: the school received 95 applications for just 37 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.57, and only 25 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.7%, which is worth noting in the context of the London average, though the data does not provide a direct local authority comparison. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for younger children. Headteacher Simon Jones leads a school that, based on its intake and application numbers, clearly holds strong appeal for Hillingdon parents.
