Governance, Financial & Annual Reports
the Chair of Governors
Dear Parents/Carers
Having two children complete their statutory schooling at Heston, I can say with confidence that the School provides an outstanding learning experience in a safe and supportive environment – at Heston, every child really matters.
Respect, equality, resilience, ambition, kindness and honesty are the core values that every child at Heston Community School is encouraged to embrace. As Chair of Governors, I take great pride in, and share, these values and the ethos that form the foundation of the education we provide.
In December 2022, Ofsted judged the Sixth Form to be 'Outstanding' and the School overall as “Good”. The report commented:
'Leaders’ expectations for all pupils are high. Pupils have high aspirations and want to succeed in education. Leaders have established the right school climate for them to do so. Pupils achieve very well in a wide range of subjects in the main school and sixth form.
Pupils speak proudly about ‘Hestonian values’, such as kindness, honesty, resilience and equality. These values are embedded in the day-to-day life of the school. They provide a shared language for teachers and pupils, inspiring them to be the best that they can be. As a result, pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to learning are exceptional.'
Heston has gone from strength to strength, consolidating its position in the top 10% of schools in England at GCSE. The School has consistently secured strong progress at A Level and BTEC.
As Chair of Governors at Heston Community School, I consider myself fortunate to be able to contribute to the ongoing success of the School. Heston has an excellent team of dedicated and highly skilled teachers, support staff and Leadership Team; with a community of students who are ambitious and highly motivated to learn. All students are provided with opportunities to become confident and rounded individuals, capable of high levels of achievement - irrespective of ability or background.
I would invite any parent to visit the School, see the outstanding learning environment and meet our wonderful students.
