Sacred Heart High School

London, W6 7DG · Hammersmith and Fulham · secondary school

Ofsted: Outstanding · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Girls Secondary Roman Catholic
9.2/10 Well above average

3rd of 11 secondary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.4/10 against 865 of them, against 9.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 60.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.78 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in 2023-12.

Getting in. The school has 1123 pupils in a capacity of 793, meaning it is over capacity by 330. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is significantly over capacity? What support is available for pupils who need to catch up on progress? How does the school maintain its Outstanding rating while managing such a large student body?
