Ark Elvin Academy
London, HA9 7DU · Brent · secondary school
8th of 15 secondary schools in Brent we can score, 16 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 — 8.0/10 against 497 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 43.2 · 49 | 30% | 1.46 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.35 · 76 | 25% | 1.89 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 45.9 · 51 | 10% | 0.51 |
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, 43.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 45.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.35 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join ballet, big band, choir, and steel pan band clubs, or play QPR football, table tennis, boxing, cricket, trampolining, and badminton. Instrument lessons and a Music Gala are also available. An after-school club exists.
Getting in. The school has 1305 pupils in a capacity of 1200, meaning it is over capacity by 105. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 105 pupils over capacity in daily operations? What specific support is available for pupils aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the after-school club integrate with the academic curriculum?
