The school is heavily oversubscribed and remains the first choice school for many parents in Hounslow. Shortlisted for the TES School of the Year Award in 2022 and 2023 and in 2023 winner of the TES Best Arts Provision category.

There is also the possibility of some remote working from home when completing paperwork or attending virtual meetings.
We are a values driven organisation and very ambitious for all our students regardless of background, prior attainment or needs. We are a warm, caring and inclusive school with highest expectations of all our learners and where everyone works together to support them to reach their potential.

About Chiswick School
Chiswick School is a mixed 11-18 school that is truly comprehensive in its nature.
Our vision is that we do whatever it takes to ensure every student achieves their full potential. Over the last year we have made rapid progress in our classrooms and we are delighted that Ofsted has recognised how far we have come. Over the next four years we are aiming to become one of the finest schools in London providing students with exceptional opportunities in and out of the classroom.
Chiswick School is full of adults who care deeply about children and we pride ourselves on the positive relationships we build with students. We are a family which includes parents and carers, teachers, other school staff and the community; with the child placed firmly at the centre of all that we do and the decisions that we take.
Our teaching and support colleagues are our most valuable resource and we work hard to provide a balanced and enjoyable working environment. A new Wellbeing Strategy is being implemented to enhance what we are already doing to support our staff.
"Staff praise leaders for the improvements that have been made. They said that leaders take their workload and well-being seriously. Staff morale is high. They are committed to playing their part in the continued improvement of the school." - Ofsted, January 2020
