About East Acton Primary School

East Acton Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Ealing, currently educating 216 pupils against a capacity of 240, meaning it has some physical room to grow. However, demand is clearly outstripping supply: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 98 applications for just 26 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.77. Only 11 of those applications were first-preference offers, which suggests that while the school is popular, many families who apply don’t get their top choice. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 42.6%, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools (around 23-24%) and places it well above the Ealing LA average. This makes East Acton a notably inclusive school, serving a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is non-religious and has no nursery or sixth form provision, focusing entirely on the 4-11 age range.
