About Three Bridges Primary School

Three Bridges Primary School sits well above the Ealing local authority average for primary schools, with 83% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with the LA average of 71%. That twelve-point gap puts the school in the top ten of the 65 primaries in the borough, ranking ninth overall. It is one of only 14 schools in Ealing to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a status it earned in its most recent graded inspection and confirmed as maintained in an ungraded visit. The school’s leadership and management, early years provision and overall effectiveness were all judged Outstanding, while its previous inspection rated it Good across the board. With 422 pupils on roll against a capacity of 446, the school is popular but not yet at full capacity.

In maths, 90% met the expected standard and 52% hit the higher standard, again with an average score of 109. Writing saw 88% reach the expected standard and 31% the higher standard. The school’s ranking score of 83 places it in the top 15% nationally among primary schools, and in the top 15% within London. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29.5%, which is above the national average, making these results particularly notable.
