• A-level: 52% of entries were graded A* to A, and 83% were graded A* to B.
• GCSE: 51% of entries were graded 9 to 7, and 90% of entries were graded 9 to 4. Our Progress 8 was 0.96, and our Attainment 8 Grade was 6.4, placing us in the top 1% of comprehensive schools in the country.
• The Sunday Times named us ‘London Comprehensive School of the year’ for 2025.

At the West London Free School, we aim to build a culture of sustainable success. We have a stable body of staff who feel supported and fulfilled.
• Senior leaders are highly visible and approachable.
