William Perkin Church of England High School
Greenford, UB6 8PR · Ealing · secondary school
3rd of 16 secondary schools in Ealing we can score, 17 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 — 9.8/10 against 889 of them, against 9.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 69.0 · 90 | 46% | 4.18 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.87 · 96 | 38% | 3.67 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 62.5 · 94 | 15% | 1.44 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 62.5, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.87 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the William Perkin Big Orchestra and the whole school choir.
Getting in. There are 1396 pupils in a school with 1401 places, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 5 places remaining, how does the school manage waiting lists for new intakes? Since the Progress 8 data is from 2023/24, what recent changes have been made to the curriculum to maintain that progress? How does the school support students who need additional help in English and maths to reach the grade 5 threshold?
