About schools in Hounslow

How many schools are there in Hounslow?
Hounslow has 87 open schools — 52 primary, 23 secondary, 5 special, teaching 46,778 pupils in total.
How many schools in Hounslow are rated Good or Outstanding?
66 of the 66 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 100% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 10 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 87: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Hounslow?
6.7 out of 10, averaged across the 77 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
Why do some Hounslow schools have no Ofsted rating?
21 schools in Hounslow currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
What does Hounslow local authority do?
A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Hounslow covers 87 schools and sits in the London region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
How many pupils in Hounslow are eligible for free school meals?
24.2% — 10,789 of 44,662 pupils at the 76 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
