West Acton Primary School
About West Acton Primary School
West Acton Primary School sits firmly in the middle of the pack when you compare its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Ealing local authority average. The school recorded 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is seven percentage points below the LA average of 71%. That places it 48th out of 65 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom third locally. The gap is notable, but the picture isn't uniformly weaker. In maths specifically, 78% of pupils hit the expected standard and the average scaled score was 107, both respectable figures. Reading and writing expected rates were 74% and 77% respectively, so the shortfall against the LA average is driven more by the combined measure than by any single subject collapse. The school also has a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 34.4%, which provides important context for these outcomes.
