Kingsley Academy

Kingsley Academy (formerly Hounslow Manor Community School) is a secondary school incorporating a sixth form since its conversion to an academy in April 2013. The school has been sponsored by the London Academies Enterprise Trust (LAET), a subsidiary company of the Academies Enterprise Trust (AET).

Kingsley Academy also secured £29m for a new school building with construction work beginning in the spring of 2016. The capacity of the school is set to increase to 1,400 from approximately 850.

Assessment

In 2009, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) stated that "Hounslow Manor is rapidly improving and an extremely inclusive school,"[1] and in 2011, Ofsted graded the former Hounslow Manor Community School as 'good'.

In May 2015, however, after its first Ofsted inspection since becoming an academy, Kingsley Academy was graded as "Requires Improvement."[2] A follow-up inspection in October 2015 concluded that "Senior leaders and governors are not taking effective action to tackle the areas requiring improvement identified at the last section 5 inspection in order to become a good school."[3]

In January 2016, Lesley Kirby took over as principal, and another follow-up visit by Ofsted in July 2016 indicated that the school has undertaken a new direction under her leadership, with "tangible improvements" since the previous inspection.[4]

Hounslow Manor Sports Hall

Hounslow Manor Sports Hall is a sports center located on the school grounds. It can be rented for various activities and events.
