Brentford School for Girls
Brentford, TW8 0PG · Hounslow · secondary school
14th of 20 secondary schools in Hounslow we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 739 of them, against 5.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 40.5 · 41 | 46% | 1.91 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.25 · 69 | 38% | 2.65 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.6 · 73 | 15% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for girls who are not yet engaged with the Duke of Edinburgh programme? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining a school that is fairly full?
