About Dairy Meadow Primary School

Dairy Meadow Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 96 applications for just 22 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.36 to one. Every one of those 22 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests that for those who live closest, it’s a realistic and sought-after option. While the school doesn’t publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the high demand is a strong signal in itself. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It sits in the London borough of Ealing, and its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection, in October 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its graded inspections.
