About Greenford High School

Greenford High School is a large mixed state secondary in the London borough of Ealing, serving pupils aged 11 to 19 under headteacher Mia Pye. It ranks tenth out of sixteen secondary schools in the local authority when measured by Progress 8, placing it in the middle of the pack. The three highest-performing peers in Ealing are all Church of England schools — Ada Lovelace, Ealing Fields and Twyford — each with Progress 8 scores well above Greenford’s. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is William Perkin Church of England High School, 1.6 kilometres away. Greenford itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in February 2022, a downgrade from the Outstanding it held in its previous inspection. All five inspected categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — were judged Good. The school is non-religious and oversubscribed, receiving 1080 applications for 300 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 250 offers going to first-preference applicants.
