Recently released school performance tables have placed Chiswick School in the top 10% nationally.
The assessment was done on the basis of the Progress 8 score which measures the improvement in child’s performance from leaving primary school to taking their GCSEs, essentially showing the value-added the school provides.
This allowed the school to achieve GCSE results significantly above the national average with a particular strength in science subjects according to data from the Department for Education. For these Chiswick School was in the top 2.6% of the country with many students staying on at the sixth form to study Physics and Mathematics.
The school welcomed over 500 visitors to its open evening earlier this month with many students eager to find out more about the sixth form.
Mr Williams, the Director of Sixth Form said, “I was delighted to meet so many students from all over London who had travelled to hear about Chiswick School. We are becoming known not only for academic excellence but also for the many opportunities we offer students, excellent facilities and the friendly nature of students and staff”.
Last week the Drama department was also informed that it had been shortlisted for the third year in a row for ‘Outstanding Drama Department of the Year’ in the Music and Drama Awards. Mr Robinson, who leads this area, has to wait until February to see if the school wins.
Mr Moxon, the Head of Music will be attending the highly prestigious Pearson Teacher Awards this month. His silver award was presented to him by Gillian Keegan the Secretary of State for Education which then qualifies him to move to the next round and the possibility of a gold award which is the highest award available. Karen Emmet who works on the senior team at the school said, “we are so proud of Tommy and Zach and all the teachers at the school, they go above and beyond to ensure that the students at Chiswick School have access to the most amazing activities as well as teaching them brilliantly”.
