About Vyners School

Vyners School sits within the London borough of Hillingdon, a local authority with 23 secondary schools, where it ranks 10th by Progress 8 score. That places it in the top half of the LA, though it is outpaced by the three top-performing peers: Bishopshalt School, Northwood School, and Queensmead School. The school is one of only four secondaries in Hillingdon currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its most recent graded inspection in 2019 confirmed that overall effectiveness rating, with leadership and management also judged Outstanding. An ungraded inspection in January 2025 found that standards had been maintained. The nearest other Outstanding-rated secondary is Ruislip High School, about 3.8 km away. Vyners is a mixed, non-denominational state secondary with a sixth form, and it is significantly oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 351 first-preference applications for 231 places, with a total of 1,152 applications across all preferences.
