About Fielding Primary School

Fielding Primary School in Ealing is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a grade it has held across its most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, the school was confirmed to have remained Outstanding, and the graded inspection in 2017 awarded top marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling exam metric for this large primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 72% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That is one percentage point above the Ealing local authority average of 71%, placing the school 32nd out of 65 primaries in the borough. While not among the very top performers locally, Fielding comfortably exceeds the national benchmark and shows particular strength in reading, where pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 and 50% reached the higher standard.

Looking deeper at the KS2 results, the school’s maths performance is also solid, with an average score of 107 and 87% of pupils meeting the expected standard. Writing is a relative weak spot: 79% reached the expected level and only 19% achieved the higher standard, compared with 47% in maths and 50% in reading. The school’s ranking nationally places it in the top 26% of all primaries based on the combined expected standard metric. With 1,018 pupils on roll and a capacity of 1,030, Fielding is operating very close to full. Only 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, which suggests a relatively affluent catchment. The school’s nursery provision means children can join from age three, and the admissions data for 2025/26 shows it is heavily oversubscribed: 525 applications for 120 places, with 189 first-preference applications for 119 offers.

Fielding offers a wide range of facilities including a library, sports hall, music rooms, art studios, a gymnasium and an outdoor playground, plus a chapel. Sports provision covers athletics, swimming, tennis, dance and gymnastics, and there are clubs for art, film and chess. The school’s SEND provision is notably comprehensive, with support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language difficulties, physical disabilities, social and emotional mental health needs, and a resourced provision. This makes it a strong choice for families who want a large, well-resourced state primary with a proven track record of Outstanding teaching and a broad curriculum, but who are prepared for the reality of a very competitive admissions process. The nearest other Outstanding-rated primary is Oaklands, 0.9 km away.
