Applying for a junior school

All Hillingdon residents with a child in year 2 at any infant school must submit an application. Applications can be made for up to four junior schools; however, if you only wish to transfer your child to your linked Hillingdon junior school, you only need to include one preference.

Applications also need to be made for Hillingdon residents with pupils wishing to continue at a junior school in a different authority.

Residents of other boroughs wishing to apply for a Hillingdon junior school should contact their own local authority for details on how to make an application. This applies to all year 2 pupils who are currently:

• attending an infant school in Hillingdon or a neighbouring authority or
• attending a primary school and you wish to transfer your child to a junior school in September 2026.

This does not apply to year 2 pupils who are currently:

• attending a primary school in Hillingdon or a neighbouring authority, and you wish your child to move to year 3 in the same school or
• currently attending a primary school and you wish to transfer your child to a year 3 place at a different primary school in September 2026 (an in-year application will need to be made in this case).

Junior schools in Hillingdon give priority to pupils attending their linked infant school, but they do not reserve places for individual pupils. Therefore, it is very important that you apply on time to ensure you do not miss out on an offer.

Applications must be made for year 2 pupils wishing to continue in the following Hillingdon junior schools:

• Coteford Junior School
• Field End Junior School
• Harefield Junior School
• Hillside Junior School
• Minet Junior School
• Newnham Junior School
• Whitehall Junior School
• Whiteheath Junior School
• Yeading Junior School.

Please note: The following schools have amalgamated and are now all-through primary schools.

As a result, a separate application for a junior school place is no longer required:

• Lady Bankes Junior School
• Oak Farm Junior School
• Grange Park Junior School
