About Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School

Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School sits well above the Hillingdon local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 80% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a borough average of 64%. That 16-point gap puts the school in the top 25% nationally and 5th out of 55 primary schools in Hillingdon. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 89 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 239 applications, with 107 of those as first preferences. That ratio of 2.69 applicants per place suggests local families see it as a strong option, and its Outstanding Ofsted rating — confirmed in a June 2024 graded inspection — backs that up. The school has held an Outstanding grade since at least its previous inspection in 2013, so this isn't a flash in the pan.
