John Locke Academy
About John Locke Academy
John Locke Academy in Hillingdon holds an Ofsted Outstanding rating, confirmed as recently as April 2024 when an ungraded inspection found the school remains at that level, though with a note of 'Concerns' that triggers a further graded inspection. The school's most recent graded inspection, back in 2017, awarded top marks across the board: Outstanding for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the key academic metric for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 61% in the 2023/24 academic year. That is a touch below the Hillingdon local authority average of 64%, and it places the school 38th out of 67 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local schools on this measure.
