About The Breakspear School

The Breakspear School sends a strong signal to parents that it is a popular choice. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.62 applications for every available place, and 87 of its 90 total places went to first-preference families. This level of demand is a practical indicator of local confidence, and it is backed by the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, which awarded an overall Outstanding rating across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. The school has clearly improved since its previous Good rating in 2014, and the early years provision has also been upgraded from a 2 to an Outstanding 1. For parents weighing up options in Hillingdon, this combination of high demand and top inspection grades makes Breakspear a school that is actively sought after.
