Ealing Fields Church of England High School occupies a site with a long educational heritage, yet it is one of the more recent additions to the Ealing secondary landscape. As part of the Twyford Church of England Academies Trust, it shares the same rigorous systems and high expectations that have made its sister schools some of the most sought-after in London. Despite its historic Little Ealing Lane address, the school operates with a modern, high-achieving energy. In the 2024-25 / 2025 dataset, its GCSE results are strong, with Attainment 8 at 66.1 and Progress 8 at +1.3. With a recently increased capacity, it offers a more contained environment than some of its sprawling West London neighbours, yet it manages to deliver a curriculum of significant depth.
The school is housed in a mixture of heritage and contemporary architecture, most notably the Grade II listed Kingdon House, which dates back to the mid-17th century. This historic anchor provides a sense of permanence and gravitas that belies the school's founding in 2016. The atmosphere is purposeful and orderly. Students move between lessons with a focused quietness that reflects the Twyford Trust's structured approach to behaviour and learning.
Following the redesignation as Ealing Fields Church of England High School in September 2025, the school has further solidified its identity within the trust. Associate Headteacher Jo Trewin currently leads the school, maintaining the stable leadership that guided the transition from its temporary site to its permanent home. The ethos is underpinned by core values that emphasize the development of the whole person, with a particular focus on courtesy, discipline, and intellectual curiosity. Parents often remark on the school's ability to feel like a close-knit community while maintaining the standards of a much larger, elite institution.
Ealing Fields Church of England High School delivers exceptional academic outcomes that place it in the top tier of state schools. In the 2024-25 / 2025 dataset, the school achieved an Attainment 8 score of 66.1. This performance places the school 412th out of 3,895 in England for GCSE academic outcomes, and 6th among secondary schools in Ealing on the local overall ranking.
The school remains around the top tenth of schools in England by the current GCSE ranking. The Progress 8 score of +1.3 in the 2024-25 / 2025 dataset indicates that students at Ealing Fields make substantially more progress per subject than students of similar ability elsewhere. This is a very strong value-added profile, reinforcing the school’s high attainment rather than relying on attainment alone.

The curriculum is designed to be academic and rigorous. A high proportion of students are entered for the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), with 63.3% achieving grades 5 or above in these core subjects in the 2024-25 / 2025 dataset and 88.4% entered for the EBacc. Triple science entry is 26.5%, alongside the broader traditional-subject emphasis that supports competitive sixth form and university applications.
Teaching follows the Twyford Trust's highly structured lesson formats, which emphasize clear objectives, expert subject knowledge, and regular retrieval of previous learning. The latest Ofsted inspection in December 2024 found the curriculum to be highly ambitious for all pupils, noting that staff set high expectations and pupils thrive. Staff adaptation for pupils with SEND enables high-quality provision across the board.

The school's pastoral system is built around a strong house structure, which encourages a sense of identity and healthy competition. The latest Ofsted findings highlight that pupils are respectful and show courtesy to each other and to adults. The "warm-strict" approach ensures a calm environment where students feel safe and focused.
There is a dedicated pastoral team and a SENCO who coordinates support for students with additional needs. The school's size allows staff to maintain a detailed overview of individual student progress. The December 2024 Ofsted report suggests that the school's work may have improved significantly across all areas since the previous inspection, with a particular focus on the best interests of all pupils.
The school day typically begins at 8:30am, though new timings were introduced in September 2025. The site is well-served by public transport, with South Ealing and Northfields tube stations (Piccadilly Line) within walking distance. There is no on-site parking for parents, and Little Ealing Lane can be congested; walking or cycling is strongly encouraged.
Ealing Fields High School is an academic powerhouse that has quickly established itself as a top-tier choice in West London. Its combination of historic charm and modern, data-driven teaching produces progress scores that are among the best in England. It is a school that suits academically ambitious students who thrive in a structured, disciplined environment. Families interested in this option can use the Saved Schools feature to manage their shortlist, but they must be realistic about the very tight catchment area and the high level of competition for entry.
Yes, it is excellent. The latest Ofsted inspection in December 2024 suggested significant improvement, with inspectors noting that pupils thrive and achieve exceptionally well. In the 2024-25 / 2025 dataset, its Progress 8 score is +1.3, and it achieved an Attainment 8 score of 66.1.
Ealing Fields designates 15 places for Specialist Music Scholars. The application process tests a child's natural ability to hear pitch, rhythm, and melodies rather than prior knowledge.

Ealing Fields does not have a fixed catchment boundary. Places are allocated primarily by distance to the school. In 2024, the furthest distance at which a place was offered was 0.5 miles. Distances vary annually based on applicant distribution; proximity provides priority but does not guarantee a place.
As of September 1, 2025, the school was redesignated as Ealing Fields Church of England High School. While it is part of the Twyford Church of England Academies Trust, the school remains committed to inclusive admissions for the local community.
