Minet Junior School
About Minet Junior School
Minet Junior School sits in the middle of the pack in Hillingdon, and its headline Key Stage 2 results tell a story of solid, if not spectacular, performance. The school achieved a 71% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is seven percentage points above the local authority average of 64% for primary schools. That gap is meaningful — it places Minet comfortably ahead of the typical Hillingdon state primary, though it still trails the top performers in the borough like Deanesfield Primary School. The school ranks 20th out of 67 primary schools in the area, putting it in the top third locally. Nationally, it sits around the 28th percentile, which is respectable but not exceptional. What stands out is that Minet is doing better than the LA average despite serving a significantly more disadvantaged intake — 40.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools.
