Clifton Primary School
About Clifton Primary School
Clifton Primary School is a mixed, state primary in Ealing, London, serving children aged 3 to 11. With 425 pupils on roll against a capacity of 472, the school is not at full capacity, yet demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 116 applications for 55 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.11 applicants per place. Of those, 52 were first-preference offers, suggesting a solid local reputation. The school’s intake reflects a diverse community, with 34.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals — notably higher than the national primary average of around 23%, placing Clifton well above the typical level of disadvantage. This context matters when interpreting the school’s strong academic outcomes, as it achieves these results with a pupil body that faces above-average economic challenges. The school is non-religious, with no formal religious character, and is led by headteacher Mrs Lori Greenglass.
