42nd 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 — 6.8/10 against 782 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 John Perryn Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this nurturing ‘family’ school, where they learn in a calm environment and build strong relationships with teachers. The report states that leaders ensure pupils learn a ‘broad and ambitious academic curriculum’, resulting in pupils achieving well and being ready for secondary school. Overall, the school is described as a place where pupils are happy, safe, and supported according to their specific needs.
Strengths
- Leaders have re-established high expectations, ensuring subjects are ‘designed ambitiously’ with learning ‘well sequenced to build knowledge over time’.
- A ‘strong reading curriculum’ is implemented effectively, helping pupils grow in confidence as accurate readers and fostering a love of reading.
- Staff provide personalised support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those speaking English as an additional language.
- The ‘John Perryn Way’ promotes kindness and responsibility, with pupils engaging readily in roles such as anti-bullying ambassadors.
- Governors ‘know the school well and ask challenging questions’, supporting leaders in stabilising the staff team.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to further train staff to ‘routinely check effectively how well pupils have understood and remembered the taught curriculum’ to address retained misconceptions.
- In a few subjects, leaders’ work to raise ambition remains ongoing; they must embed improvements so that ‘all subjects are planned and taught with ambition and rigour’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders being vigilant, staff well trained to report concerns, and pupils knowing how to stay safe and trust staff to help them.
