Mixed Secondary
8.1/10 Well above average

7th 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 — 9.3/10 against 727 of them, against 8.1/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 62.1 · 85 46% 3.92
Progress 8 2023/24 0.32 · 74 38% 2.84
Attainment 8 2024/25 54.9 · 85 15% 1.31

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 to catch up with the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the academy manage the competitive nature of its admissions process for new entrants?
