About Wellington Primary School

Wellington Primary School sits in the London borough of Hounslow, where it ranks 6th out of 44 primary schools locally, placing it in the top 14% of its peers. The three highest-scoring schools in the borough are St Michael and St Martin Catholic Primary School, Belmont Primary School and Grove Park Primary School, all of which sit above Wellington in the local rankings. The school is led by headteacher Deborah Norton and is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 3 to 11 with no religious character. With 768 pupils on roll, it is operating above its stated capacity of 720, which helps explain why it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 229 applications for 90 places. Of those, 82 were first-preference offers. The school also offers nursery provision, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, judged that the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2019, when it was rated Good overall.

Academically, Wellington performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Hounslow LA average of 70%. The school’s maths scores are particularly strong: 92% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 110, and half of all pupils achieved the higher standard. In reading, 85% met the expected standard and 28% reached the higher standard; in writing, 89% met the expected standard and 41% achieved the higher standard. Nationally, Wellington ranks in the top 12% of all primary schools on the combined expected standard metric, and in the top 14% within London. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, from June 2019, rated both leadership and management and overall effectiveness as Good, while early years provision was judged Outstanding. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 14.5%.

The school’s facilities include a library, ICT suite, dining hall, forest school and a chapel, and it offers a broad range of sports including football, netball, swimming, tennis, athletics and rounders. Clubs cover drama, choir, gardening, art, chess and science. Parent feedback from the Ofsted Parent View survey, based on 32 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 84% of parents would recommend the school. Strong majorities agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, feels safe, and that the school has high expectations. The school has a wide range of SEND provisions, including support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and social, emotional and mental health needs. Given its strong academic results, oversubscribed status and broad extracurricular offer, Wellington is a popular choice for Hounslow families seeking a primary education within a large, well-established school community.
