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.
