Isleworth Town Primary School

About Isleworth Town Primary School

Isleworth Town Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections, the most recent of which was an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the Hounslow local authority average of 70%, placing the school 24th out of 44 primary schools in the borough. While not among the top performers locally, the school performs respectably on individual subjects: 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, 81% in writing, and 75% in maths. At the higher standard, 22% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects, with reading leading at 37%, followed by maths at 34% and writing at 31%.

Digging deeper into the Key Stage 2 data, the school’s average scaled scores sit at 107 for reading and 106 for maths, both slightly above the national benchmark of 100. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the raw outcomes suggest solid, if not spectacular, attainment. Nationally, Isleworth Town ranks in the 36th percentile among all primary schools, and within London it sits in the 57th percentile. The school’s ranking score of 68 places it in the top 50% of schools nationally by this metric. For context, the highest-ranked school in Hounslow, St Michael and St Martin Catholic Primary, scores 97, while the nearest Outstanding-rated school is Lionel Primary School, 3.2 km away. Ofsted’s 2023 inspection did not provide updated graded breakdowns for individual categories, but the 2012 graded inspection rated leadership and management and overall effectiveness as Good, with early years provision at that time requiring improvement.

With 779 pupils on roll against a capacity of 812, Isleworth Town is a large primary school that is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 246 applications for 73 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 3.37 applicants per place. Of those, 62 first-preference applicants were offered places. The school offers nursery provision for children from age 2, which will appeal to parents looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6. Facilities include art studios, music rooms, a gymnasium, a sensory room, a library, playing fields and even a chapel. Sports provision covers football, gymnastics, dance, cricket, tennis, rounders and swimming, while clubs include art, choir, film and gardening. The school’s SEND provisions are broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health support. This is a school that suits families seeking a well-resourced, large community primary with strong extracurricular breadth, though those prioritising top-tier academic outcomes may want to compare with higher-ranked local options.
