Check the area around this school
39th 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 — 6.2/10 against 2,539 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Blair Peach Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are "kind, caring and considerate" and relationships are "warm and respectful." Leaders maintain "high expectations" for behaviour and personal development, resulting in an environment that is "calm and purposeful." The curriculum is generally "well designed and ambitious," with particular strength in the early years and reading provision.
Strengths
- Behaviour and attitudes are "exemplary," with bullying being "uncommon and not tolerated."
- Personal development provision is "exceptionally strong," fostering resilience and self-awareness through "rich ongoing discussions."
- The early years provision is "high-quality and ambitious," ensuring children are "ready to learn" in Year 1.
- Reading is prioritised with "precision," including effective support for those who struggle.
- Staff feel "supported and mindful of their well-being" and are "proud to work at the school."
Areas to improve
- In "a few subjects," leaders have not "considered clearly enough what they want pupils to know," leading to teaching that is not always focused on essential knowledge.
- Approaches to check pupils’ understanding are "not as firmly established" in later years as in the early years, making it challenging to gauge retention.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are "effective," with staff receiving regular training and leaders working closely with outside agencies to support vulnerable pupils.
