Schools in Southall
Southall is a diverse and densely populated area in the London Borough of Ealing, with 27 state schools - 19 primaries and 4 secondaries. Ealing Council co-ordinates admissions through the Pan-London process, with straight-line distance the key tiebreaker for community schools. Southall's primary schools are among the most diverse in England, serving communities with roots across South Asia, East Africa, and Eastern Europe. Several primaries are consistently oversubscribed, with last-offered distances under half a mile.
Secondary schools in Southall include Villiers High School, Greenford High School, Featherstone High School, and Dormers Wells High School. All four are mixed comprehensives, and demand is high across the board. Families should be careful to note that Southall addresses near the Hillingdon border may be geographically closer to schools in that borough - Hillingdon applications are made separately and not through Ealing's round.
