Whiteheath Infant & Nursery School
About Whiteheath Infant & Nursery School
Whiteheath Infant & Nursery School is a state primary for children aged 2 to 7 in the London borough of Hillingdon, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has capacity for 270 pupils but currently enrols 250, leaving a small number of places available. However, demand far outstrips supply: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 196 applications for just 85 total places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.31 applicants per place. Of those, 72 families listed it as their first preference, and all 72 received an offer. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 7.4%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the school draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. The school is non-religious and mixed, and its headteacher is Jacqueline Hall. With a nursery on site, it offers a seamless start for families looking for a single setting from age two through to the end of Key Stage 1.
