Check the area around this school
55th 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 — 5.1/10 against 2,600 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Wood End Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending Wood End Primary School, where they behave well and achieve strongly in English and mathematics. However, the curriculum in other subjects is less established, leading to gaps in knowledge and inconsistent assessment practices. Leadership and governance require strengthening to ensure rigorous oversight of the school’s work and safeguarding systems.
Strengths
- Pupils "behave well in class" and the school environment is described as "calm and orderly" during lessons.
- The curriculum in English and mathematics is "well implemented," helping pupils build a "secure body of knowledge."
- Reading foundations are "well established," with staff implementing the chosen curriculum "with precision."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "accurately identified" and supported to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Personal development is "well considered," with opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills and understand healthy relationships.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure staff receive sufficient training and subject leaders appropriate support to implement the curriculum effectively in subjects other than English and mathematics.
- Record-keeping must be made "coherent and well organised" so that information on curriculum impact, safeguarding, and behaviour is readily available to leaders and governors.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, although the rigour with which concerns are shared with the local authority is inconsistent and governors lack access to sufficient information to maintain an effective overview.
