Pupils achieving level four or above in Ealing has risen to 80% in English and 78% in maths - up by one percentage point in English and three percentage points in maths from 2006. This means Ealing schools are performing at the national average in English and above the national average in maths.
Results also show that more pupils in Ealing are progressing to level 5, with 34% now reaching level 5 in English (a five percentage point improvement) and 35% in maths (a two percentage point improvement).
Two Southall primary schools are among the top 100 schools nationally for sustained improvement - Tudor Primary School at 22 and Three Bridges Primary School at 39. Based on the contextual value added measure, pupils in 26 of Ealing's 65 primary schools are making significantly more progress than expected. Eight of these schools are ranked in the country’s top 5% for helping their pupils progress and two schools in Acton are in the top 100 primary schools nationally. The borough's overall value added rating of 100.4 is also above the national average and places Ealing 11th out of the 150 local authorities in England.
There have been significant strides in reducing the number of
schools below the 65% government floor target for level 4 or above,
from 18 schools below the target in English or maths last year to
eight below this year. Primary school absence has also fallen from
6.1% in 2005-06 to 5.3% in 2006-07.
