Chiswick Community School to become Technology College

Mixed comprehensive with a large sixth form.  Nicely located just next to Chiswick House Grounds with very good sports facilities, it doesn't set the world on fire academically but performs soundly enough given the composition of the in-take and has seen a strong improvement in recent years.  The school has the reputation of being well run and an important part of the community.

The school was subject to an Ofsted report in June 2007

Where weaknesses are identified by inspectors, Chiswick has a track record of taking them on board and addressing them. Chiswick is also strong on addressing the concerns of parents.

How do you get in?

Complete an application form from the school or Hounslow Council who can be contacted on info@education.hounslow.gov.uk.

The admissions policy is as follows:

Where the number of children applying exceeds the number of places published, the applications are considered in the following order of priority:

• 1. Sibling - priority will first be given to First Preference applicants who have an older son or daughter attending the preferred school.
• 2. Medical/Social - priority will then be given to First Preference applicants whose medical or social circumstances require attendance at a particular school. In such cases parents are reminded that they must complete the appropriate section on the application form and professional advice will be sought.
• 3. Distance - if insufficient vacancies are available for all the remaining First Preference applicants priority will then be given those children who live nearest to the preferred school. The distance is measured by the use of public highways excluding footpaths and common land. Accessibility of private or public transport will not be considered.
• 4. If vacancies remain available after all First Preference applicants have been allocated, Second Preference applicants whose First Preference application for another school has been unsuccessful will be considered in the same order as 1, 2 and 3 above.
