About Willow Tree Primary School

Willow Tree Primary School in Ealing holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in July 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 55%. This places the school 57th out of 65 primary schools in the Ealing local authority, putting it in the bottom half of the borough. While the school’s overall effectiveness is solid, the KS2 data reveals a more mixed picture. For context, the Ealing local authority average for the same combined measure is 71%, meaning Willow Tree trails the borough norm by 16 percentage points. The school’s reading and maths expected standard scores are both 72%, matching the LA average for those individual subjects, but writing expected standard is slightly lower at 69%. Higher standard attainment is limited, with just 5% of pupils reaching the higher threshold in all three subjects.
