West Thames College

About West Thames College

West Thames College, a state secondary in Hounslow, received a Good rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection, but the academic outcomes data tells a more complex story. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at just 1.1, a figure that reflects the average grade achieved by its students across eight key subjects. This is an unusually low score, and it is paired with a Progress 8 score that was not published, making it difficult to assess how much value the school adds relative to students’ starting points. The EBacc average point score is 0.06, and no students entered for the EBacc combination of subjects in the 2023/24 results. For context, the local authority average Progress 8 score across Hounslow’s state secondaries is 0.44, and top-performing schools like St Mark’s Catholic School achieve a ranking score of 1.35. This suggests West Thames serves a cohort with very different academic starting points or priorities.
