About Derwentwater Primary School

Derwentwater Primary School sits within the Ealing local authority, a London borough with 65 primary schools. In the most recent rankings based on the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, Derwentwater placed 51st out of those 65 schools, putting it in the bottom half of the LA. For context, the top-performing peers in the borough include Ark Byron Primary Academy, Little Ealing Primary School and Southfield Primary School. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is St Vincent's Catholic Primary School, just 0.4 kilometres away. Derwentwater itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards have been maintained. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall.
