Highfield Primary School
About Highfield Primary School
Highfield Primary School in Hillingdon holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 53% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the Hillingdon local authority average of 64%, and ranks it 44th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 67% in writing, while 69% also hit the target in maths. The average scaled scores were 102 for reading and 104 for maths, both slightly above the national baseline of 100. Just 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, though 24% did so in maths alone.
