Formerly known as Chiswick Community School, it became an Academy in March 2012.  Nicely located just next to Chiswick House Grounds with very good sports facilities.

The school was subject to an Ofsted report in March 2012 which upgraded its verdict to " good" following two "satisfactory" reports over the previous six years.

Located in Burlington Lane, it has 1200 students aged 11-18 and last year got the highest A-Level results in the Borough of Hounslow with 33% A or A* grades.

The school watchdog found the school ‘good ‘ in all four areas, which are Pupil Achievement, Quality of Teaching, Behaviour and Safety as well as Leadership and Management.

Some of the comments made by the inspectors include ;

‘Students work productively and at a good pace and are confident in discussing what they have learned.... Attainment at the school is above average...Students mix well together and interact with adults with good humour and good manners...Students in the sixth form achieve well and make good progress.

It goes on to praise the teachers for their "good" to "outstanding" practice.

The Headteacher, Tony Ryan and senior team are also praised for leading the turn around.

The full report is available on the school website.

In 2011, 92% of Chiswick School students achieved 5 GCSE or equivalents at grades A* to C in a school record for this measure, whilst 60% achieved 5 good grades including English and Maths.

In 2011, a much improved set of A level results was achieved by Chiswick School when 33% per cent of results were in the A and A* category. This was double the number achieved in 2010 and the highest in the Hounslow Borough.
