Check the area around this school
12th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 3,899 of them, against 9.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.82 |
| 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.

The higher standard was reached by 23.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.

Worth asking on a visit
With 10 places currently spare, how does the school manage waiting lists for specific entry years? How does the curriculum support pupils who reach the higher standard in maths? What does a typical day look like for a child joining the Coding Club?

Overview
Montpelier Primary School is rated as ‘Good’ overall, with ‘Outstanding’ judgements for the quality of education and behaviour and attitudes. The report describes a school that sets “high standards and ambitious aspirations,” where pupils are “kind and behave extremely well” and achieve highly in core subjects.
Strengths
- The curriculum in Years 1 to 6 is “ambitious and accessible,” with knowledge and skills that “build increasingly over time.”
- Pupils demonstrate “strong outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics” due to systematic teaching and regular revision opportunities.
- Staff quickly identify pupils falling behind in reading and put support in place to help them “catch up and keep up.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “access the same curriculum and learn alongside their peers.”
- The personal development programme is “well-thought-through,” encouraging pupils to take on responsibility roles and feel valued.
Areas to improve
- Some elements of the early years curriculum are “not as carefully thought through,” meaning the intended learning aim of some activities is “not clear or precise.”

Safeguarding
