Use our free interactive tool to check whether any Hounslow property falls within primary or secondary school catchment zones. Hounslow stretches from Chiswick in the east to Feltham and Bedfont in the west, and admissions pressure differs markedly along that corridor.
Free interactive map — enter any Hounslow, Chiswick, Brentford or Feltham postcode and see exactly which catchment areas it falls within.
Chiswick's primaries and secondaries are among the most sought-after in West London, and catchment distances there can be very short. Schools in Feltham, Bedfont and Hanworth generally admit from a wider radius. Treat the borough as several distinct markets rather than one.
The London Borough of Hounslow is the admissions authority for community primary and secondary schools. After looked-after children, EHC-plan holders and siblings, places are normally allocated by straight-line distance from home to the school.
Hounslow has a high proportion of academies and voluntary-aided faith schools, several of which set their own criteria. Proximity to the Ealing, Richmond and Hillingdon borders also means neighbouring boroughs' schools are often realistic options.
