Contents

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.[ citation needed ]
