Reach Academy Hanworth Park

What Reach Academy Hanworth Park does

Reach Academy Hanworth Park is a state-funded free school located on Feltham High Street in west London, opened in September 2024 as the second all-through school operated by the Reach Schools Academy Trust. It delivers continuous education from Reception (with Nursery on a waiting list) through to Year 11, deliberately capping enrolment at 90 pupils per year group to ensure every child is known; the inaugural cohort comprised 60 Reception and 90 Year 7 pupils, with a new Reception and Year 7 cohort added each September. The school sits adjacent to its sister school, Reach Academy Feltham, and operates from purpose-built temporary accommodation while a permanent state-of-the-art building off Browells Lane is under construction, with planning permission granted in October 2024 and an expected 2027 opening.

The school's educational offering rests on a rigorous, carefully sequenced cross-phase curriculum and a structured teacher-development programme featuring weekly instructional coaching — assets originally developed and proven at Reach Academy Feltham, where outcomes rank in the top 1-2% nationally (over 90% of pupils meet expected standards at age 11; 97% progress to top universities). Supporting services include wraparound care, enrichment clubs and trips, Place2Be mental-health support, and home-visit pre-enrolment engagement. The Trust also runs an Initial Teacher Training programme (Reach Training) and a professional community platform (Reach Out) that extend the Reach model beyond the school itself. The Trust-wide approach is recognised internationally: Reach Schools won the Varkey Foundation Global Schools Prize 2026 (Teacher Development category, $50,000) and was named a Top 10 finalist for the $1M Grand Prize.

As a free school under the UK Department for Education's free schools programme, the entity operates as a not-for-profit Academy Trust (Companies House number 07634106) with no tuition fees. Revenue is generated entirely through per-pupil state funding, supplemented by Pupil Premium top-ups for disadvantaged pupils, with admissions coordinated through the London Borough of Hounslow. Governance is shared across the Trust, which also operates Reach Academy Feltham, Reach Sixth Form (Feltham College), Reach Training, and the Reach Children's Hub; leadership transition in September 2026 will see Matilda (Tilly) Browne become CEO, succeeding co-founder Rebecca Cramer.
