52nd of 57 primary schools in Ealing we can score, 65 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 — 3.6/10 against 1,537 of them, against 3.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Allenby Primary School
Overview
Allenby Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are "very happy to attend" and demonstrate the school’s values in their interactions. The report highlights a "calm" environment with high attendance, noting that pupils are "confident and articulate" and feel safe within the community.
Strengths
- Reading is prioritised with a "sharp focus on learning to read," supported by staff expertise in phonics and resources for parents.
- The "ambitious curriculum" engages pupils, who "ask insightful questions" and make links with prior learning, particularly in history and mathematics.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "well supported," with needs identified early and precise plans in place.
- Staff are "well supported by the senior leadership team," and leaders have prioritised staff well-being.
- Pupils enjoy "leadership opportunities" and clubs that develop their character and understanding of their rights.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, recently refined curriculum changes are still embedding, meaning "curriculum delivery does not reflect the school’s expectations" and some pupils do not know as much as intended.
- Leaders should check that these changes have the "desired impact" so pupils achieve as well in these subjects as in others.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
