Greenford High School
Southall, UB1 2GU · Ealing · secondary school
12th 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 — 9.1/10 against 385 of them, against 7.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 19 | 35% | 0.67 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.2 · 71 | 30% | 2.13 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.37 · 77 | 25% | 1.93 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 48.6 · 65 | 10% | 0.65 |
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 can join the Junior and Senior Choir, Keyboard Club, String Ensemble, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Orchestra, Rock Bands, and Guitar Groups, and attend Musical Productions and Popular Music Concerts.
Getting in. There are 1976 pupils in a school with 2000 places, leaving 24 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for students aiming to join the orchestra or jazz band? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 24 places?
