Alec Reed Academy is a mixed all-through school and sixth form located in the Northolt area of the London Borough of Ealing, England. The school operates nursery, primary, secondary and sixth form departments for pupils aged 3 to 19.
Its predecessor, Walford Secondary School, was founded in 1955 as a secondary modern school for 11- to 16-year-olds.[1] It later became Walford High School under the comprehensive system. The school changed its name to Compton High School and Sports College in 2001,[2] after the Middlesex and England cricketer, Denis Compton.[3] In 2003, Compton High School and Northolt Primary School were merged on the same site to form West London Academy, one of the first academies to be created in England.[4] The school moved to new buildings on the same site in 2005.[5] In 2012, it was renamed Alec Reed Academy, after its sponsor, the entrepreneur Alec Reed.
The school shares its campus with John Chilton School, a special school for pupils with a physical and/or a medical disability.[6] The two schools share many facilities and the entire campus is wheelchair accessible.
In June 2015, Ofsted gave the academy a "Good" rating. The rating was reaffirmed in June 2018, when Ofsted noted the school's strengths in ".....learning in the early years and primary phases" and its general sense of inclusivity.[7] For maths and writing, the academy achieved a "Well Above Average" rating for its overall performance at end of key stage 2 in 2017.
