Check the area around this school
34th 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 — 6.7/10 against 2,721 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Primary School
Overview
North Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a supportive environment where pupils enjoy their learning and feel safe. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, delivering a broad curriculum that prepares children well for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious and well organised," with key knowledge "well sequenced from early years onwards" to deepen learning over time.
- Pupils develop reading with "increasing confidence and fluency" through a phonics programme implemented with fidelity and targeted support.
- Behaviour is "calm and orderly," with pupils being respectful and appreciating the school’s values.
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment opportunities, including visits to museums and activities like fencing and science clubs.
- Staff workload and well-being are "typically well considered."
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure staff use assessment across the curriculum effectively to identify and correct misconceptions, as some subjects lack consistent checking.
- The school needs to establish "rigorous and systematic arrangements" for safeguarding administration, specifically regarding the single central record and reporting pupils leaving the roll.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture ensuring pupils are kept safe, though administrative oversight of safer recruitment and register management requires improvement.
