About Twyford Church of England High School

Twyford Church of England High School’s Progress 8 score of 1.08 is more than double the Ealing local authority average of 0.5 for schools of the same type, placing it firmly among the highest-performing state secondaries in the borough. That score ranks it third out of 17 schools in Ealing, and 51st nationally out of 3,141 schools. The school’s Progress 8 banding is described as “well above average,” and its ranking in the top five per cent of London schools underscores just how far ahead of the local curve it sits. For context, the two schools above it in Ealing — Ada Lovelace and Ealing Fields — are also Church of England academies, suggesting a strong local cluster of faith-based high performers. Twyford’s attainment 8 score of 63.5 and its EBacc average point score of 6.1 further reinforce the picture of a school that consistently delivers results well beyond what the LA average would predict.
