Featherstone High School
Southall, UB2 5HF · Ealing · secondary school
11th 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 — 8.8/10 against 669 of them, against 7.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 48.9 · 63 | 46% | 2.90 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.6 · 88 | 38% | 3.38 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.8 · 66 | 15% | 1.01 |
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, 48.9% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 48.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.6 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 (8.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Jack Petchey Speak out Challenge, Duke of Edinburgh, National Sports Week, Arts Week, and serve as Wellbeing ambassadors. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 1773 pupils in a capacity of 1627, meaning it is over capacity by 146. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 146 places? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not attend the breakfast club? How does the World Class Schools award influence the daily curriculum?
