About Horsenden Primary School

Horsenden Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the Ealing local authority average, which is a useful starting point for parents weighing up options. The school achieved 66% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 71%. That places Horsenden 46th out of 65 primary schools in Ealing, putting it in the bottom half of the borough. However, the picture isn’t uniformly weaker. In maths, the average scaled score of 106 is solid, and 78% of pupils met the expected standard in that subject alone — a figure that would be respectable in most contexts. Reading and writing expected rates are 76% and 72% respectively, so the combined figure is pulled down by the small number of pupils who miss the threshold in just one area. The school’s ranking in London (1008 out of 1592) and nationally (5720 out of 13686) reflects a broadly average performance, not a struggling one.
