About Haydon School

Haydon School is a popular choice among Hillingdon families, with 434 applications for 223 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.95. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and 78 of those applicants listed it as their first preference. The school does not publish a formal parent-view survey, so the best signal of local satisfaction is this consistent demand. It is a mixed, non-denominational state secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, with a large roll of 1,549 students against a capacity of 2,040. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school Good overall, with all five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — all judged Good. That is a step down from its previous inspection in 2007, when it was rated Outstanding across the board.
