Check the area around this school
53rd 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 — 6.6/10 against 1,596 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.21 |
| 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 Oldfield Primary School
Overview
Oldfield Primary School provides an education where safeguarding standards are met, and pupils feel safe and well-supported. While attendance, behaviour, and early years provision meet the expected standard, inconsistencies in teaching and curriculum implementation mean that achievement and leadership currently need attention. Leaders are actively working to stabilise staffing and improve the quality of teaching to ensure pupils achieve as well as they should.
Strengths
- Safeguarding is effective, with an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
- Attendance has improved significantly due to "thoughtful measures" and is now "in line with national figures."
- Pupils are "polite and well mannered," creating a "calm and orderly" environment that supports engagement.
- Early years provision is strong, with children making good progress in phonics, vocabulary, and independence.
- Inclusion is effective, with "tailored" support ensuring pupils with special educational needs access the curriculum.
Areas to improve
- Teaching is "inconsistent," leading to gaps in pupils' knowledge of speaking, writing, and number facts.
- Leaders must use collected information more "systematically" and strategically to drive rapid improvement.
- Staff require further professional learning to ensure consistent implementation of the curriculum and effective assessment.
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," noting that leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer.
