Drayton Manor High School
London, W7 1EU · Ealing · secondary school
7th 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 — 9.7/10 against 545 of them, against 8.7/10 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 | 62.0 · 85 | 30% | 2.54 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.65 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 56.0 · 87 | 10% | 0.87 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 62.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 56.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.65 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in January 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Music Session and Extracurricular Activity Clubs, play football, netball, basketball, tennis, cricket, athletics, and gymnastics, and attend the Arts Summer Showcase. Trips include the Royal Albert Hall, Spanish Theatre, Pantomime at the Lyric Theatre, British Museum, Kew Gardens, Tower of London, Battlefields in Belgium and France, and Cambridge.
Getting in. The school has 1413 pupils in a capacity of 1582 places, leaving 169 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the final year to maintain their progress? What specific support is available for students aiming for university places? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining mid-year?
