About us
Kingsley Academy, a ‘Good’ 11-18 Secondary School that has made significant progress since 2019 that matches the unapologetic ambition of the leadership team and staff to give every student the opportunity to achieve academic excellence.
This year our dedication to improvement was validated with a 25% improvement in our 4+ English and Maths figure alongside a 26% improvement in our 5+ figure compared to 2019. This improvement marks the start of an incredibly exciting journey at Kingsley Academy and an opportunity to be part of something much bigger with our next target of 90% of students achieving 4+ in English and Maths by 2028.
About our school
Kingsley Academy has grown significantly in numbers over the last three years and we are now full in every year group with a waiting list across all years demonstrating the successes the school has seen and the positive culture the school promotes. Kingsley Academy is inclusive, supportive and truly serves the local community.
At Kingsley Academy staff work hard, but we work in a collaborative, open and supportive way. We invest in staff development and work with colleagues to overcome any barriers or challenges that they may face. Our aim is to establish Kingsley as ‘a school at the heart of our community, developing knowledge, ambition and kindness to prepare students for success at university and the world beyond’. We are passionate about achieving social justice for our students and believe firmly that it should not be about where you come from that determines how successful you are in life.
Our school is also well connected, located in the heart of Hounslow, just minutes from Hounslow High Street. Our school is located just 3 minute walk from Hounslow East Underground Station (Piccadilly line - Heathrow branch), with direct connections to Central London (35 minutes) and Heathrow (12 minutes). We are also located a 10 minute walk from Hounslow Railway station, with Overground connections to Clapham Junction (32 minutes) and Waterloo (40 minutes).
Curriculum

With our curriculum offer we give students the opportunity to pursue the courses of their choice at GCSE, A Level and then have the chance to attend the most prestigious universities. This year we have had students leave Kingsley to attend Oxford, King’s College and Edinburgh. Opportunities also extend beyond the classroom with an expansive and ever growing offer of extra-curricular opportunities. Our extra-curricular activities are expansive and we have developed great partnerships with local businesses that give students the opportunities to engage with careers that are aspirational and provide students with skills that allow them to go on to lead a successful life.
Behaviour for Excellence
The behaviour of students at our school is exceptional and we have disruption free classrooms. Our disruption free classrooms allow teachers to teach great lessons, take risks and never lower standards or expectations. We believe in disruption free classrooms, every lesson, every day. We encourage you to book a visit prior to your application to witness the calm and purposeful culture at Kingsley.
Ofsted
When Inspectors visited in October 2019 they stated that ‘the school has rapidly transformed in a short period of time, behaviour is consistently strong and a culture of respect, collaboration and mutual support permeates the school’.
‘DNA’
At Kingsley Academy, we believe in morally driven education, and our staff and students model our academy ‘DNA’.
