Northwood School, formerly known as Potter Street, is an academy school of about 780 students, ages 11 to 18, located in the northern part of the London Borough of Hillingdon. From September 2016 Northwood School increased the PAN admission numbers and increased its year 7 intake from about 150 students to 180. This means the planned capacity for the new building is of about 1080 students. From October 2016 Northwood school will have increased in size and will be ready to welcome more students when they finally open the doors in the new build.
