Check the area around this school
25th 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 — 7.5/10 against 4,263 of them, against 7.5/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 41% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.73 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 26% | 1.81 |
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 North Ealing Primary School
Overview
North Ealing Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are "enthusiastic about their learning" and "achieve well." Leaders maintain high expectations, ensuring a curriculum that is "ambitious" and prepares pupils confidently for the next stage of their education. The school fosters a positive environment where pupils behave well and feel safe.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "full" and matches the national curriculum’s depth, with subject leaders identifying specific concepts and vocabulary to help pupils "secure their knowledge and understanding over time."
- A "love of reading is evident," supported by a well-trained phonics programme and regular assessments that ensure children at risk of falling behind receive additional support.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported" with targeted help and access to the same curriculum as their peers.
- Staff report being "overwhelmingly positive" regarding leaders’ support for their workload and well-being, appreciating the "open-door policy" and professional development opportunities.
- Pupils’ wider development is prioritised, with regular opportunities to learn about global issues such as sustainability, allowing them to talk "knowledgeably and maturely" about these topics.
Areas to improve
- The full implementation of the curriculum is "not firmly established in a few subjects," such as geography and art and design, meaning some teaching does not fully match leaders’ aims for pupils’ progression in knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong safeguarding culture" ensuring concerns are spotted and acted on, and staff are well trained to identify pupils at risk of harm.
