About Uxbridge High School

Uxbridge High School is a large, mixed secondary school in Hillingdon that is significantly oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 970 applications for 216 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.49 to one, with 142 of those offers going to first-preference applicants. The school currently has 1,345 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 1,298, which suggests it is operating at full stretch. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 36.5%, well above the national average and a clear indicator that the school serves a community with higher-than-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted across its recent inspections, with its most recent graded inspection in November 2024 awarding Good for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership, while personal development was rated Outstanding.
