Chiswick School is a secondary school with academy status located in Chiswick in the West London borough of Hounslow, England, in 2004 it had 1239 students including 208 Sixth Formers.
On 1 March 2012, Chiswick Community School changed from a local authority school to an Academy, to reflect this change the school's name changed from Chiswick Community School to Chiswick School, the name it had when it first became a comprehensive school. In 2015, Ofsted downgraded the school to 'Requiring Improvement' at management level and SEND Provision. Governors were also heavily criticised for not challenging the Head in vital decisions.
Chiswick School is located beside Chiswick House and has adopted a picture of the house as its logo. Most of the buildings are new, however the North Eastern block still remains from the original girls' school. Before the school was built a farm was on the site. Due to its location it has a very wide catchment area taking pupils from the borough of Hounslow as well as Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond, Hammersmith and Fulham and Ealing.
Chiswick School prides itself on being a very multicultural school; its students have ethnic backgrounds ranging from Asian to African. Due to this diversity, it has double the national average of students for whom English is a second language. Because of the prevalence of prominent all-girls schools in the local area, Chiswick School's intake is roughly 60% male.
It is situated next to Alexandra Avenue (A316), south of Chiswick House and near the Civil Service Sports Ground. Joan Ann Maynard is a teacher.
