As part of the School's drive to continually improve the experience for students at Heston Community School, an external review led by 'Challenge Partners' took place in January. As part of this process, five senior leaders from other schools took part in a wide variety of activities including lesson visits, student interviews and staff conversations, across 3 days.

The reviewers were very complimentary about the School. They were particularly impressed with the very positive relationships between staff and students, high quality teaching and learning, careers education and musical, sporting and subject specific extra-curricular opportunities offered by the School.
