About Berkeley Academy

Berkeley Academy in Hounslow was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. Personal development was judged Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management all came in at Good. This is a step down from the school’s previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 66% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is below the Hounslow local authority average of 70%, and places Berkeley Academy 27th out of 50 primary schools in the borough. Just 11% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects, and the school’s national ranking for this measure sits in the 42nd percentile.
