About Phoenix Academy

Phoenix Academy is a secondary school in London, Hammersmith and Fulham, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 538 pupils aged 11 to 19 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 49.6 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 4.3 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 31% of secondary schools nationally.

54% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 71% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Phoenix Academy their first choice was offered one of its 118 Year 7 places. After Year 11, 90% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 6.9%. There are about 13.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 55% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Phoenix Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
