Twickenham Academy

What Twickenham Academy does

Twickenham School (legally Twickenham High School) is a UK state-funded secondary school located on Percy Road, Twickenham, Middlesex, serving students aged 11-16 across Years 7-11. The school is part of the Bourne Education Trust, a multi-academy trust headquartered in Epsom, Surrey, which provides governance, HR, finance, and strategic oversight. The school targets families in the Twickenham, Whitton, Hounslow, Feltham, and Richmond catchment areas through local authority admissions, supplemented by open evenings, open mornings, and 'Super Saturday' events.

The school's core offering is a traditional secondary curriculum enriched by specialist programmes including the Master Learner Programme (learning skills development), Honours Programme (extension for high-achieving students), and T Level Health vocational pathway. SEND provision and inclusive education for disadvantaged pupils are emphasized. Technology infrastructure consists of standard educational administrative systems: the Arbor Student Portal for information management, Microsoft Office 365 for communications, the Epraise rewards system for student engagement, and a cashless catering platform. The school actively engages prospective and current families through a website, Twitter, weekly Headteacher's bulletins, a monthly safeguarding newsletter, and the TS Spotlight publication.

As a UK state secondary school, Twickenham School operates on a government-funded model where education is free at point of use. Revenue derives entirely from UK Government funding via local authority per-pupil allocations. Additional ancillary income is generated through uniform, catering, and optional extras such as trips and extracurricular activities. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection (February 2026) rated multiple areas as 'Strong Standard', with safeguarding fully met, and Progress 8 scores have risen for three consecutive years to +0.26 in 2024/25, placing the school in the top 30% nationally for GCSE progress. Strategic partnerships include Bourne Education Trust (governance), Princess Alice Hospice and Kingston College (T Level Health placements), Barclays' 'Made for the Game' (sporting initiatives), and Richmond Council (environmental education).
