About Ryefield Primary School

Ryefield Primary School in Hillingdon is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 416 pupils against a capacity of 630, meaning it operates well below its physical limit. Yet the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 106 applications for just 45 places, with 38 first-preference offers made and an oversubscription ratio of 2.36. That level of competition suggests a strong local reputation, even though the school isn't full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 19.1%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 23% but still a meaningful minority, giving the school a reasonably mixed intake. The headteacher is Colin Tucker, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, which can be a practical draw for families looking to secure a place early.
