Derwentwater Primary School
London, W3 6SA · Ealing · primary school
45th 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 — 4.9/10 against 1,991 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Choir, Musical Theatre, iRock School of Music, and The Brit Youth Theatre.

Arts activities feature school productions, concerts, solo and ensemble performances, and a Carol Concert. Trips visit the Natural History Museum, Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve, Gunnersbury Park Museum, Windsor Castle, Kew Gardens, Science Museum, Tate Britain, and The Floating Classroom. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 431 pupils in a capacity of 500, leaving 69 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late or leave early, given the lack of wraparound care? What specific steps are taken to raise attainment in writing, where results sit below the national median? How does the school integrate the various music and theatre groups into the daily timetable?
