Schools in West Drayton
West Drayton has 13 schools including 9 primaries, all administered by the London Borough of Hillingdon. Two of the 12 schools with published roll data are oversubscribed, and the average fill rate across the area sits at 77 per cent — leaving some spare capacity in most year groups.
Faith character plays a notable role here: three schools hold Roman Catholic or Church of England designations, which each apply their own oversubscription criteria — typically attendance at a named parish — ahead of the standard Hillingdon distance tiebreaker. Four schools are academies operating their own admissions outside the LA process.
