Chiswick School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

Pupils at Chiswick School benefit from an exceptional level of care and support for their education, well-being and wider personal development. This means they achieve well, are kept safe and are thoroughly prepared for their next steps. Students in the sixth form and older pupils recognise how much the school has improved during their time here. They trust their teachers and regard them as highly positive role models. Pupils are expected to behave well and engage positively in their learning, which they do. In lessons, pupils read and write 'like experts'. Pupils listen carefully to their teachers and each other. They ask questions that demonstrate their curiosity and enjoyment in what they are learning. Pupils move around the school site safely and sensibly. There is a wealth of opportunities for pupils to develop their interests, whether that be music, sports, drama, art, science or politics. The school's orchestra, steel band and choir regularly perform at prestigious venues and events. There is also a diverse array of extra- curricular activities for pupils, such as boxing, computing, drama and rowing. Visits to the theatre and museums, as well as overseas residentials, help enrich pupils' experiences. Pupils and students in the sixth form are extremely well supported to make informed decisions about their future.
