Chiswick School is developing into a place that expects excellence from students and staff supporting and teaching them. Ofsted recognised us as a Good school and the care and support we provide students as Outstanding. We have recently been nominated for Secondary School of The Year in the prestigious national TES awards.

Our academic curriculum provides students with a pathway to Russell Group Universities and top Apprenticeships. In addition to studying more traditional subjects we are lucky to have excellent facilities and subject specialists to teach computing, design technology, the Arts and sport.

Leaders have been relentless in working to transform the school so that it provides the young people it serves with the best possible education. Those who visit remark on the calm and purposeful lessons and the dedication of our staff; we are proud of what we have achieved.

Our vision at Chiswick School is that we do whatever it takes to ensure every student achieves their full potential. We expect our students to exemplify Chiswick School values at all times; in both their school and home lives. We are an inclusive, community school with a focus on academic rigour and success. Our curriculum is designed to allow students to compete at the highest level. We marry this with care and kindness and a sense of community.
