Ravenor Primary School

About Ravenor Primary School

Ravenor Primary School sits within Ealing, a London borough with 65 state primary schools, and it ranks 31st among them — squarely in the middle of the pack. The three highest-scoring primaries in the local authority are Ark Byron Primary Academy, Little Ealing Primary School and Southfield Primary School, all of which outrank Ravenor on the KS2 expected standard metric used for this comparison. Still, Ravenor holds a solid position: it falls in the top 50% of primaries nationally and in the top 45% within London. The school is led by headteacher Leonie Lobo and is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11. It is a large school, with 654 pupils on roll against a capacity of 682, and it has a nursery provision. Over a third of pupils (34%) are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average and gives a sense of the school’s intake.

Academically, Ravenor’s most recent Key Stage 2 results from 2023/24 show that 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — just above the Ealing local authority average of 71%. That’s a respectable outcome for a school in the middle of the LA rankings. In individual subjects, maths stands out: 91% of pupils reached the expected standard and 32% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Reading and writing were a little lower, with 83% and 77% at expected standard respectively, and higher-standard attainment at 26% and 25%. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, back in 2012, rated it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management and Requires Improvement for early years provision. An ungraded inspection in March 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, so the overall rating has been stable for over a decade.

Ravenor offers a broad set of facilities including a Forest School, outdoor playground, art studios, music rooms, a sensory room and even a chapel. Sports on offer include gymnastics, dance, tennis and athletics, while clubs range from film and science to coding, gardening and art. The school has a substantial SEND provision, supporting pupils with moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed: 150 applications for 59 places, with 54 first-preference offers made — a ratio of 2.54 applicants per place. This level of demand suggests a school that local families actively choose. Ravenor would suit families looking for a large, inclusive primary with strong maths outcomes, a good range of enrichment activities and a clear SEND support structure, all within a competitive Ealing admissions landscape.
