About Grange Primary School

Grange Primary School in Ealing is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 307 applications for just 90 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.41. That means more than three families applied for every available spot, and all 55 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests strong local confidence. While the school doesn’t publish a parent recommendation percentage in this data, the high demand is a clear signal that families rate the experience. The school is led by headteacher Jamie Maloy and serves 657 pupils aged 3 to 11, with capacity for 912, so there is some room to grow. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary with a nursery provision, and 22.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a diverse intake.

Academically, Grange Primary is a solid performer, though not at the very top of the Ealing league table. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is just below the Ealing local authority average of 71%. The school ranks 40th out of 65 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the middle of the pack. On individual subjects, 83% reached the expected level in maths, with an average score of 106, while reading and writing expected rates were 74% and 81% respectively. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was 7%, and 30% hit that mark in maths. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. Its previous graded inspection in 2014 also gave an overall Good rating, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time.

For families considering Grange, the practical offering is strong. The school has a wide range of facilities including a sports hall, forest school, outdoor playground, playing fields and even a chapel. Sports on offer include rounders, netball, cricket, tennis, cross country and football, while clubs extend to book club, gardening, coding, drama and choir. SEND provision is comprehensive, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, hearing impairment, physical disability, autistic spectrum disorder and social, emotional and mental health support. The school is oversubscribed, so applying early and as a first preference is wise. It suits families who want a large, well-resourced primary with good but not elite academic outcomes, strong extracurricular breadth, and a clear track record of consistent Ofsted ratings. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Fielding Primary, 1.1 km away, for those who might also be weighing higher-performing alternatives.
