West London Free School
London, W6 9LP · Hammersmith and Fulham · secondary school
5th 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 — 9.9/10 against 919 of them, against 9.6/10 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.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 85.1 · 96 | 30% | 2.86 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.96 · 97 | 25% | 2.42 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 69.2 · 96 | 10% | 0.96 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022. In 2024/25, 85.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 69.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.96 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those starting from the same place nationally. 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 (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Architecture, Zine, Drawing, and Ceramics clubs. Sports include hockey, rounders, football, rugby, netball, basketball, tennis, and cricket. Arts activities feature theatre performances and the London Art Trail, alongside trips to local museums.
Getting in. There are 921 pupils in a school with 920 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new students when it is operating over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who need extra help in English and maths? How does the school ensure all students have access to the wide range of sports and arts clubs?
