About Ark Byron Primary Academy

Ark Byron Primary Academy sits in the London borough of Ealing, where it ranks first out of 65 primary schools in the local authority. That puts it ahead of well-regarded local peers like Little Ealing Primary School, Southfield Primary School and Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Rebecca Ross-Wood and currently has 414 pupils on roll, just shy of its 420-pupil capacity. In its most recent graded inspection in 2018, Ofsted rated the school Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness. An ungraded inspection in February 2024 confirmed the school remains Good and noted it is improving. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Ark Priory Primary Academy, less than half a kilometre away.
