Wood End Park Academy is a converter academy in Hayes for boys and girls aged 3 to 11. It has 846 pupils and room for 1,044. About 29 in every 100 pupils come from a low-income family, a bit more than at most schools. We give it 72 out of 100. That puts it above schools like it, ahead of 58% of the 50 schools most like it. Ofsted's last grade was good, back in 2023.

What Ofsted found

A shorter visit on 13 July 2023 found nothing to change the school's grade. Read the report on Ofsted's website.

Good overall. A shorter follow-up visit found nothing to change that. The last full inspection was before September 2019, which is as far back as Ofsted's public records go, so we can't show its date or the grades for each area.

There are no progress figures for 2025. That year group missed their Year 2 tests during Covid, so there was no starting point to measure from. Progress figures come back with the December 2026 results. Tests were cancelled altogether in 2020 and 2021.

Does every child do well here?

A good school does well by every child, not just on average. Each row compares two groups of pupils here. The grey marks show the same two groups across England. 3 of the 4 gaps are smaller than the gap across England. When a group has fewer than about ten pupils, its figures jump around a lot from year to year.

Getting a place

Admissions policy not published.

Plenty of spare places853 pupils for 1,050 places, 2024/25
81% full

197 places were empty (19% of the total), so almost everyone who applies gets in. Pupil numbers have stayed about the same since 2021/22.

Will my child get a place?

In 2025 every child who applied got a place, so how far away you live didn't matter. That could change if the school gets more popular.

We measure in a straight line from the middle of your postcode to the school. The council measures its own way, and the cut-off changes every year. Use this as a rough guide, and read the council's admissions booklet before you apply.

How places were given out for September 2025. Every child who applied got a place (81 offers for 120 places).

Specialist SEND provision. SEN unit with 24 pupils, for autism.

To get a place in the unit or resourced provision, a child normally needs an education, health and care plan (EHCP) that names the school. Other schools in Hillingdon with autism provision.

The most common needs among pupils getting extra support: language and communications needs (51), Autistic spectrum disorder (39), emotional and mental health (12), Specific learning difficulty (7), Physical disability (4), SEN support but no specialist assessment of type of need (2).

Money

Reserves are the money left over at the end of the year, kept back for emergencies and big projects. Being in the red year after year is a warning sign. Very large reserves can mean money sitting in the bank instead of being spent on today's pupils. Academy figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and include a share of any money the trust holds centrally.

Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.

Compared with schools like it

Our score compares Wood End Park Academy with the 50 schools in England whose pupils are most like its own. We match on family income, how many children are learning English, special needs, the neighbourhood, the size of the school and how it admits pupils. Those 50 schools are dotted all over the country, so we don't list them. What matters is where this school sits among them.

How the score was worked out

The score is out of 100. A 72 means that once everything below is added up, this school comes out ahead of 72% of primary schools in England. Results bounce around from year to year, especially in small schools, so we also show a likely range: 59 to 82. Every part is judged against schools with a similar mix of pupils. For small schools we pull each part towards the group average, so one unusual year can't swing the score too far.
