Alec Reed Academy
Northolt, UB5 5LQ · Ealing · all-through school
13th of 16 secondary schools in Ealing we can score, 17 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.3/10 against 485 of them, against 5.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 39.5 · 39 | 30% | 1.17 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.24 · 68 | 25% | 1.70 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.1 · 46 | 10% | 0.47 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 39.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.1, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.24 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in August 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join an art therapy group and Forest School. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 1672 pupils in a capacity of 1895, leaving 223 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific activities take place during the Forest School sessions? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a large intake?
