About Chatsworth Primary School

Chatsworth Primary School sits within the London Borough of Hounslow, a local authority with 50 primary schools where seven hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is ranked 35th out of 44 primaries in the borough, placing it in the bottom half of local schools based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The top-performing peers in the area are St Michael and St Martin Catholic Primary School, Belmont Primary School and Grove Park Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. Chatsworth is a mixed, non-faith state primary for children aged 3 to 11, led by headteacher Helen Willis. It has a capacity of 710 pupils and currently enrols 631, with 12.5 per cent of children eligible for free school meals. The school also offers nursery provision, though it does not have a sixth form.

In its most recent graded inspection, carried out in 2019, Ofsted rated Chatsworth Primary School as Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, early years provision and the quality of education. A subsequent ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained. This represents a clear improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2016, when it was judged to require improvement. At Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, 62 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, which is below the Hounslow local authority average of 70 per cent. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 105, while 9 per cent of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. In maths, 32 per cent reached the higher threshold, compared with 27 per cent in reading and 11 per cent in writing.

Parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025 were overwhelmingly positive: 93 per cent would recommend the school, and 96 per cent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy there. The school’s facilities include a sports hall, gymnasium, library, dining hall, playing fields and an outdoor playground, and it offers clubs in drama, eco, coding, gardening and choir. Sports on offer include tennis, football, cricket, cross country and dance. The school has identified SEND provisions for pupils with specific learning difficulties, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. For the 2025/26 academic year, Chatsworth was oversubscribed: 146 families applied for 71 places, with 69 first-preference applicants offered a spot. This is a school that has improved its Ofsted rating and enjoys strong parent satisfaction, though its academic results sit below the local average.
