Chiswick School is a high performing school in West London of nearly 1600 students (including a thriving and very successful 6th Form).
The school is heavily oversubscribed and remains the first choice school for many parents in Hounslow. Shortlisted for the TES School of the Year Award in 2022 and 2023 and in 2023 winner of the TES Best Arts Provision category. Our examination results in 2024 were excellent!
In 2020 the school was OFSTED rated as good with outstanding features. OFSTED again visited us in February 2025 and we are looking forward to sharing their findings shortly.
