Elthorne Park High School

About Elthorne Park High School

Elthorne Park High School sits within Ealing’s secondary landscape as a mixed, non-faith state school for ages 11 to 19, and it’s one of eight schools in the borough rated Outstanding by Ofsted. In the local authority’s rankings based on Progress 8 scores, it places 9th out of 16 schools, putting it just above the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in Ealing are all Church of England schools — Ada Lovelace, Ealing Fields, and Twyford — each with notably higher ranking scores, which gives a sense of the competitive academic company the school keeps. Oversubscription tells its own story: for 240 places in 2025/26, the school received 923 applications, a ratio of 3.85 applicants per place, and 222 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even if the raw ranking doesn’t put it among the very top in the borough.

Academically, Elthorne Park delivers results that are comfortably above the national average. Its Progress 8 score of 0.49 means pupils make nearly half a grade more progress per subject than similar students nationally, and the banding is rated ‘Above average’. That’s very close to the Ealing LA average of 0.5, so the school is performing in line with the borough’s strong baseline. Attainment 8 sits at 57.4, and 84.1% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. The EBacc entry rate is high at 70.6%, with 53.5% achieving the full EBacc at grade 4 or above. At A-level, the school’s value-added score of 0.14 is also rated ‘Above average’, with students averaging a C+ grade per entry and 34.41 points per entry. The sixth form is a clear strength, and the Ofsted inspection in 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained at Outstanding overall, with leadership and management also judged Outstanding.

The school is well equipped, with facilities including a swimming pool, theatre, astro turf, tennis courts, and a dedicated sixth form centre. Sports on offer range from rugby and hockey to martial arts and dance, and clubs include the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Model UN, and a gardening club. SEND provision is broad, covering specific learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, and physical disabilities, among others. Parent feedback is strong: 93% of respondents would recommend the school, and 94% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy. The school is oversubscribed, so families will need to apply early and consider admission criteria carefully. For parents in Ealing looking for a large, inclusive secondary with a strong sixth form and solid academic outcomes across the board, Elthorne Park is a reliable choice that clearly commands local confidence.
