About Parkhill Junior School
Parkhill Junior School in Redbridge is clearly popular with local families. With 457 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, the school is oversubscribed, meaning demand for places is high. The data does not include a parentView recommend percentage, so it is not possible to report how many parents would specifically recommend the school. However, the school's sustained Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, suggests a stable environment that parents trust. The headteacher is Denise Hughes-Mulhall, and the school is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 7 to 11. Around 17.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, indicating a diverse intake.
