About Whitehill Primary School

Whitehill Primary School is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 60 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3:1. Of those 60 applicants, 19 put Whitehill as their first preference, and all 19 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school rate it highly, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 confirmed it remains a Good school, with leadership and management also judged Good. The early years provision was rated Good as well. This is a notable improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2018, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall. The turnaround in leadership and outcomes appears to have been recognised by both inspectors and the local community.
