Hi everyone
I recently moved to Hounslow and looking for a secondary school admissions for my DD.I heard Kingsley academy is doing good in recent times. Would be helpful if any of you could share your feedback if you have some personal experience with the school.

Hi @divhan we’ve just moved to Isleworth last year pre: Covid and were allocated places for dd and ds at Kingsley. I will be honest and say that I wasn’t very keen initially due to neighbours opinions on the school and historically low results etc and I only ever saw it as a temporary solutions as we waited to get places at Heathland or Lampton. BUT full disclosure, I have been wowed by the school! Dd got offered Heathland before Christmas and we’ve turned it down. Kingsley has done so well with Covid, amazing level of home/school communication and both dd and ds talk so highly of the school and their teachers. Maths, Art, Science and Geography they speak v highly of and dd raves about drama which is apparently excellent. Some issues with English teachers DS in Y11 has had his teacher off since end of Nov!!! But the Head of English (who’s actually a great teacher apparently) is teaching them from after Christmas. Behaviour is so good and any issues dealt with really well. I would personally recommend Kingsley over Heathland or Lampton. New head since 2019 and mostly new staff mean it’s a very different school to what people remember.
