About Wood End Park Academy

Wood End Park Academy, a large state primary in Hillingdon, comfortably outperforms the local authority average for its key stage 2 benchmark. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 64%, this school achieves 76% — a solid twelve-point lead. That places it 13th out of 67 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top quarter nationally. The school’s overall Ofsted rating is Good, confirmed by an ungraded inspection in 2023 that found it remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, which rated the school Requires improvement. Leadership and management, as well as the quality of education, were both judged Good at that graded visit. For parents comparing options in Hillingdon, Wood End Park’s headline results are clearly above the norm for the area.

Digging into the 2023/24 key stage 2 results, the school’s strength is consistency across the three core subjects. In reading, 84% of pupils met the expected standard, with an average scaled score of 107; 36% reached the higher standard. Maths tells a similar story: 84% at expected, an average score of 107, and 39% at the higher threshold. Writing sees 83% at expected and 18% at greater depth. Combined, 76% hit the expected standard in all three — a figure that puts the school in the top 18% nationally. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is 12%. Progress scores aren’t available in the data, so it’s not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw attainment figures are strong and well above the Hillingdon average.

With 907 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1104, the school is large but not at full stretch. It’s oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 174 applications for 81 places, a ratio of 2.15 applicants per place, and all 74 first-preference families received an offer. The school has a nursery provision, a SEN unit, and a broad range of SEND support covering dyslexia, speech and language needs, autism, and social, emotional and mental health. Facilities include a sports hall, art studios, music rooms, and a chapel. Clubs run the gamut from coding and chess to eco club and choir. Sports on offer include dance, tennis, athletics and swimming. For families in Hillingdon seeking a well-performing, inclusive primary with strong core results and a wide range of enrichment, Wood End Park is a solid, data-backed choice.
