Check the area around this school
18th 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 — 9.5/10 against 2,013 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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 Ravenor Primary School
Overview
Ravenor Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are "rightly proud" and feel safe. The curriculum is generally "ambitious and well designed," with strong emphasis on reading and pupil welfare, though inconsistencies in curriculum sequencing in some subjects hinder deeper understanding.
Strengths
- Reading is "prioritised from the early years onwards," with staff trained to deliver phonics with "accuracy and precision," resulting in pupils becoming "fluent and confident readers."
- Behaviour is "calm across the school," and pupils "feel safe and are kept safe," with incidents of misbehaviour being rare and effectively managed.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "quickly identified" and receive effective support to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- The curriculum includes enriching educational visits and extra-curricular activities, helping pupils develop talents and prepare for the "next stage of their education."
- Staff enjoy working at the school, with leaders ensuring workload is manageable and concerns are listened to.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not sufficiently broken down the curriculum into small, sequential steps, meaning teachers do not always check if pupils have secured foundational knowledge before moving on.
- Consequently, misconceptions are not always swiftly addressed, preventing pupils, including those with SEND, from "sufficiently deepening their understanding" in these areas.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff trained to identify risks and procedures in place to keep pupils safe.
