Schools in Uxbridge
Uxbridge's 31 schools sit within the London Borough of Hillingdon's admissions remit, covering 15 primaries and 7 secondaries alongside 9 specialist and all-through settings. Hillingdon operates a combination of catchment-distance and oversubscription criteria for community schools, with boundaries recalculated each cycle based on the furthest distance offered in the previous round.
Demand for secondary places in Uxbridge is high owing to its position between Ealing, Hillingdon town centre and the Colne Valley - several secondary schools consistently close to applicants living outside their historic catchment footprint. Parents are advised to check the measured walking-route distances used by Hillingdon rather than straight-line estimates when assessing realistic chances.
