About Lampton Academy

Lampton Academy’s Progress 8 score of 0.49 sits above the Hounslow local authority average of 0.44, meaning pupils here make stronger academic progress than the typical secondary student in the borough. That places the school 8th out of 19 state secondaries in Hounslow, and within the top 25 per cent of schools nationally for this key measure. The school is also one of only seven secondaries in the borough rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a grade it received in its most recent inspection in May 2024. That inspection awarded top marks across the board — Outstanding for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — with personal development rated Good. With 1,510 pupils on roll and a capacity of 1,502, the school is effectively full, and oversubscription is significant: for 230 Year 7 places in 2025/26, there were 1,115 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.85 to one.

Academically, the school performs well across the board. At GCSE, the Attainment 8 score is 49.6, and 68.6 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The EBacc average point score is 4.59, with 71.1 per cent of pupils entered for the EBacc combination of subjects. Progress in maths is notably strong at 0.55, while English progress is more modest at 0.15. In the sixth form, the school’s value-added score of 0.06 is in line with the national average, and the average grade per A-level entry is C+. The best three A-levels average out at a B- grade, with 17.9 per cent of entries achieving AAB or higher. The school ranks 165th in London and 510th nationally out of 3,141 schools, placing it comfortably in the top 20 per cent of schools across the country.

The school offers a wide range of facilities including a swimming pool, sports hall, astro turf, science labs, a sixth form centre, and a library. Sports provision covers gymnastics, swimming, cricket, athletics, martial arts, netball, rounders, and tennis, while extracurricular clubs include debate, orchestra, book club, coding, art club, newspaper, and Model UN. SEND provision is comprehensive, with support for specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate and profound learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language difficulties, hearing and visual impairments, physical disabilities, and autistic spectrum disorder. There is also a resourced provision on site. With its strong academic record, Outstanding Ofsted rating, and extensive facilities, Lampton Academy is a good fit for families in Hounslow seeking a high-performing, oversubscribed state secondary with a well-regarded sixth form.
