21st 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,110 of them, against 8.3/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 The Edward Betham Church of England Primary School
Overview
The Edward Betham Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a "friendly and welcoming school community" where pupils are "happy, resilient and eager to learn." Leaders have established an "ambitious and rich curriculum" that supports high achievement, particularly in early reading and mathematics, while fostering strong relationships and a harmonious environment.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well in national assessments, with "very well" results in published phonics outcomes due to effective training and regular checks.
- Teachers possess "secure subject knowledge" and present information with clarity, helping pupils make links to prior learning and apply skills to real-life problems.
- The school promotes "pupils’ wider development very well" through a planned personal, social and health education programme and visits to diverse religious sites.
- Behaviour is positive, with bullying being "rare" and dealt with quickly, ensuring pupils feel "cared for and safe."
- Leaders provide strong support for families through drop-in sessions and work effectively to improve attendance and punctuality.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum implementation is sometimes inconsistent; teaching does not always make it clear how to "make appropriate connections within their learning," leading to gaps in knowledge for some pupils.
- The school needs to ensure teaching supports all pupils, including disadvantaged ones, to learn the curriculum in the "intended depth" so they can recall it readily.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
