Check the area around this school
19th 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 the 855 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 41.0 · 40 | 30% | 1.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -1.13 · 1 | 25% | 0.03 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 42.5 · 32 | 10% | 0.32 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Space Studio West London
Overview
Space Studio West London continues to be a good school, with leaders maintaining high aspirations for pupils. The report highlights a clearly structured curriculum, passionate teaching, and a strong focus on developing pupils’ independence and professional skills through project-based learning.
Strengths
- Leaders have ensured the curriculum is "clearly structured" with content "sequenced logically," helping pupils settle in and build core skills.
- Teachers are "passionate about their subjects" and "ambitious for what pupils can learn," using subject-specific vocabulary and breaking down complex ideas.
- Pupils behave maturely, are safe, and bullying is rare; leaders act quickly when incidents occur.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified early and receive "appropriate support from specialist support staff."
- The school offers extensive opportunities for personal development, including mentoring, clubs, and projects addressing "societal and environmental challenges."
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not routinely check for understanding before introducing new content, leading to unaddressed "gaps or misconceptions." Leaders should ensure teachers "routinely check how well pupils know and remember prior learning."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust processes in place, proactive identification of pupils needing help, and staff who are vigilant and knowledgeable about reporting concerns.
