About Wolf Fields Primary School

Wolf Fields Primary School in Ealing is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 56 applications for just 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.55. Every one of those 22 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests that for those who listed it as their top choice, the school delivered. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant step up from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2018. The headteacher is Jeremy Hannay, and the school serves a community where 34.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, above the national average. With 203 pupils against a capacity of 235, the school is not quite full, but the application numbers show demand is strong.

Academically, Wolf Fields performs around the middle of the pack in Ealing. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is slightly below the local authority average of 71%. The school ranks 47th out of 65 primary schools in Ealing on this measure, placing it in the bottom half locally. Nationally, it sits in the 43rd percentile. Looking at individual subjects, maths is a relative strength: 78% of pupils met the expected standard and 41% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 106. Reading and writing expected standards were 78% and 70% respectively. However, only 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, which is low. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is hard to say how much value the school adds, but the raw outcomes are solid if not outstanding.

The school offers a decent range of facilities for its size, including a dining hall, art studios, music rooms, an ICT suite, an outdoor playground, a forest school and a chapel. Sports provision covers cross country, athletics, dance and netball, while clubs include book club, science club, chess and film club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists support for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, severe learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs.
