Islip Manor High School
About Islip Manor High School
Islip Manor High School is a mixed state secondary in Ealing that currently educates 858 pupils against a capacity of 1,100, meaning it has room to grow. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of students eligible for free school meals, at 37.7 per cent — well above the national average and a clear indicator of the area's socioeconomic profile. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 184 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.07. However, only 19 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that while many families consider it, competition for those initial slots is fierce. The school does not have a religious character, and its headteacher is Marion Budd. It also has a sixth form, which is an official part of the school, though the sixth form cohort is small, with just 15 pupils recorded in the most recent data.
