About Heston Primary School

Heston Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 79% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is nine percentage points higher than the Hounslow average of 70% for primary schools, a meaningful gap that suggests the school is delivering results ahead of many of its neighbours. In the context of 50 primary schools across the borough, Heston ranks 9th overall, placing it in the top 25% nationally. Its ranking score of 79 puts it behind the top three performers in the area — St Michael and St Martin Catholic Primary, Belmont Primary and Grove Park Primary — but still comfortably within the upper tier. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2023, rated it Good across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development and early years provision. That marks a consistent performance: its previous inspection in 2014 also awarded a Good rating, so there is no recent history of volatility in its quality.
