- How do school admissions work in Hounslow?
- Families who live in Hounslow apply for state school places through Hounslow, usually online on the London eAdmissions website. You apply through the council where you live, even for a school in another London borough or outside London. School Checker shows historic demand indicators on school cards where published. They are not a guarantee of a place. Always read the Hounslow admissions booklet and each school's oversubscription criteria.
- What is a postcode district on this page?
- A postcode district is the outward part of a postcode (the letters and numbers before the space, such as WF2). Hounslow is split into 8 districts on School Checker. Each district page lists schools whose postcode falls in that outward code, plus distance from your home postcode when you add one.
- How should I use School Checker to research schools in Hounslow?
- Start with the district closest to your home (busy districts here include TW13 (15 schools), TW7 (15 schools), TW5 (12 schools)). Add your full postcode on the district page for straight-line distances and map pins. Shortlist schools you like, then open Compare for side-by-side figures and a CSV download. Visit schools and confirm admissions rules with Hounslow before you apply.
- Where does the data for Hounslow schools come from?
- School names, addresses, and governance come from the government school register. Ofsted publishes inspection outcomes. The Department for Education publishes attendance, attainment, pupil characteristics, and SEN figures. Local context rows (crime, census, house prices) are labelled by geography on each district page. See our methodology page for more detail and how to report a likely error with a school URN.
- Who decides which children get places at schools in Hounslow?
- It depends on the type of school. Hounslow usually sets the admission rules for community and voluntary controlled schools. Academies and free schools have rules set by their academy trust. Voluntary aided and foundation schools, which include many faith schools, have rules set by their governing body. Every state school in London takes part in the pan-London scheme, so any of them can go on the one application you make through the council where you live. Some schools also ask for a supplementary form, which you send as well. The Hounslow admissions booklet lists these schools and this year's dates.
