About Hillside Junior School

Hillside Junior School is a state primary in the London borough of Hillingdon, catering for 221 pupils aged 7 to 11. It sits in a competitive local landscape: among the 67 primary schools in the borough, it ranks 32nd based on Key Stage 2 outcomes, placing it just below the midpoint. The top-performing peers in the area include Deanesfield Primary School, Whiteheath Junior School, and The Breakspear School, all of which score notably higher on the same metric. Hillside’s ranking places it in the bottom half of schools nationally, though it is worth noting that the school operates below its capacity of 240, suggesting there may be room for more pupils. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2024, rated the school as Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2010. However, inspectors judged behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, as Good, indicating strengths in the school’s culture and pastoral care.
