About The Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls

The Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls in Ealing stands out sharply against the local authority average for secondary schools. Its Progress 8 score of 0.97 is nearly double the Ealing average of 0.5, placing the school well above the national norm. This is a school where pupils make significantly more academic progress than their peers across the borough, and the data backs that up across the board. In English, the Progress 8 score hits 1.1, and in the EBacc subjects it reaches 1.08, while maths sits at a still-strong 0.5. The Attainment 8 score of 58.1 reflects a high standard of overall achievement. The school ranks 4th out of 16 state secondaries in Ealing, putting it in the top 25 per cent locally, and 93rd nationally out of over 3,100 schools. That’s a remarkable position for a non-selective girls’ school with a 30.9 per cent pupil premium rate, suggesting that the school’s approach works particularly well for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
