Check the area around this school
27th 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 — 8.6/10 against 1,984 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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 Greenwood Primary School
Overview
Greenwood Primary School is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. The report describes a school where pupils are ‘happy and kept safe’, benefiting from an ‘ambitious curriculum’ and strong staff support. Leaders have established clear routines that foster positive behaviour and a culture where pupils feel listened to and valued.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘sequenced logically’, allowing pupils to build secure foundations and understand complex ideas over time.
- Early reading is prioritised through a ‘strong and well-embedded phonics programme’, with books carefully matched to pupils’ known sounds.

- Staff feel ‘valued and trusted’, appreciating leaders’ care towards their workload and well-being.
- Pupils demonstrate ‘mature attitudes’ to learning and enjoy taking on responsibilities, such as helping younger pupils.
Areas to improve
