The London Oratory School
London, SW6 1RX · Hammersmith and Fulham · secondary school
2nd of 11 secondary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 583 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.4/10 among them, against 9.2/10 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

| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 62.3 · 94 | 10% | 0.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Combined Cadet Force or work towards the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Getting in. The school has 1398 pupils in a capacity of 1231, meaning it is over capacity by 167. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity for new applicants? What support is available for pupils who need extra help to maintain their progress? How do the CCF and Duke of Edinburgh programmes fit into the weekly timetable?
