About Newnham Junior School

Newnham Junior School in Hillingdon is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it is essentially full. With 357 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, the school is operating at near-maximum occupancy, which signals strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.2%, notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are handled by the local authority on a non-denominational basis. Its headteacher is Neil Wilkey, who leads a mixed-gender cohort. The school is one of only nine primary schools in Hillingdon to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and the nearest other Outstanding school, Lady Bankes Primary School, is 1.1 kilometres away, giving Newnham a fairly exclusive catchment advantage for families prioritising top-tier provision.
