About Parkside Studio College

Parkside Studio College is a secondary school in Hayes, Hillingdon, classified by the DfE as a studio school. Around 61 pupils aged 13 to 19 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 45.4, broadly in line with the national average of 46. That marks an improvement of 10.2 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of secondary schools nationally.

47% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 71% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. After Year 11, 81% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 10.8%. There are about 8.7 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 42% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
