About Yeading Infant and Nursery School

Parents at Yeading Infant and Nursery School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, 90% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed by strong individual scores: 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% said their child feels safe. Communication with families also scores highly, with 100% of parents agreeing the school makes them aware of what their child will learn and lets them know how they are doing. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 academic year, it received 217 applications for 110 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.97 applicants per place. Of those, 105 first-preference families were offered a spot, meaning competition is real but not insurmountable for families who prioritise the school.

Academically, the school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection in March 2019 rated it Outstanding overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Outstanding. An ungraded inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained. This is a strong signal for a primary school that serves children from age 3 to 7. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results — its pupils move on to junior school before that stage — the local authority average for KS2 attainment across Hillingdon is 64, and Yeading sits within a borough where only 9 out of 67 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating, placing it in a select group. The school’s previous inspection in 2013 rated it Good, so the trajectory has been upward. With 20.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse intake and still achieves top-tier inspection outcomes.

The school offers a practical, well-equipped environment for its 444 pupils, operating slightly below its capacity of 480. Facilities include an outdoor playground, music rooms, a sensory room, an ICT suite, and a chapel. Sports provision covers gymnastics, dance, athletics, football, netball, and cricket, while clubs extend to coding, gardening, and film club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for social, emotional and mental health, speech, language and communication, hearing impairment, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulties or disabilities. The nursery provision means children can start at age 3, making it a good fit for families seeking continuity from nursery through to Year 2. Given its strong parent satisfaction, Outstanding Ofsted rating, and oversubscribed status, this school suits families who value a well-regarded local option with strong communication and a broad early-years foundation.
