Hillingdon Primary School is situated on the Uxbridge Road in the area known as Hillingdon Heath. The school amalgamated in September 1996, bringing together the Infants and Junior schools.

‘Playground buddies ensure that pupils are not left out of games and problems are dealt with swiftly.'
‘School council members represent their classmates effectively.'
‘...pupils know what they are expected to learn and activities were well matched to their needs.'

‘Pupils are taught in sets for English and Mathematics lessons according to their ability and prior attainment, and there is scope to include higher attaining pupils from younger years with Year 6 classes to make sure they are appropriately challenged.'
‘Teachers are accountable for the progress their pupils make...'
