About The Green School for Girls
Parents considering The Green School for Girls will find a school that is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 438 applications for 140 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.13. That means more than three families applied for every available spot, and 83 of those offers went to first-preference applicants. While the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, this level of competition is a strong signal of local reputation. The school is a Church of England state secondary for girls aged 11 to 18, located in Hounslow, and currently rated Good by Ofsted. Its most recent graded inspection took place in October 2023, when inspectors judged the school Good overall, with Outstanding marks for quality of education, personal development, and sixth-form provision. That is a notable shift from its previous inspection in 2011, when it was rated Outstanding across the board.
Academically, The Green School for Girls performs well above the national average. Its Progress 8 score of 0.64 is significantly higher than the Hounslow local authority average of 0.44, placing it 6th out of 19 schools in the borough and in the top 11% nationally. Pupils achieved an Attainment 8 score of 57.7, and 83% secured a grade 4 or above in English and maths. The school also has a strong EBacc entry rate of 37.3%, with 31.4% of pupils achieving the EBacc at grade 4 or above. At A-level, the picture is more mixed. The school’s value-added score of -0.27 is rated below average, and the average points per entry of 31.34 equates to a grade C. However, the sixth form itself was rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and the school offers a broad range of subjects and enrichment.
The school is well equipped, with facilities including a theatre, science labs, a sixth-form centre, a chapel, and an astro turf pitch. Sports on offer include rowing, rugby, and swimming, while clubs range from Model UN and debating to coding and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The school’s SEND provision covers a wide range of needs, including dyslexia, autism, and speech and language difficulties. With 28.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse intake. Given its strong Progress 8 outcomes and high demand, this is a school that suits families who value academic progress and a structured, faith-based environment, though those considering the sixth form may want to look closely at the A-level value-added data.
