Elthorne Park High School

What Elthorne Park High School does

Elthorne Park High School is a UK state-funded maintained secondary school located in Hanwell, London Borough of Ealing, operating under the governance of Ealing Council at its Westlea Road campus (W7 2AH). The school delivers education across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 (Year 7 through Year 13) and serves approximately 1,200-1,400 students organized into 8 form classes per year group with an annual Year 7 intake of 240 students. Demand materially exceeds capacity, with nearly 1,000 applications received annually for the 240 Year 7 places. Academic outcomes include 83% of Year 11 students achieving grades 9-4 in English and Mathematics GCSEs, 60% of A-levels awarded at A*-B, and progression to Russell Group universities for many Sixth Form leavers.

The school's core educational products are the GCSE Curriculum (Key Stage 4) and the Sixth Form Curriculum (A-level and Applied Level 3). Delivery is supported by a digital stack comprising GCSEPod for exam preparation, Show My Homework (Satchel One) for homework tracking, Edulink One for parent/student communications, School Cloud for parent evening scheduling, Microsoft Office 365 for staff, Google Workspace for students, EVOLVE for educational visit management, and the ParentPay cashless payment platform. Ancillary paid services include the Music Tuition programme providing peripatetic lessons for 30+ instruments at tiered pricing (£232.50 per 15 individual 30-minute lessons, £116.35 for group/paired and individual 15-minute lessons, with concessions for free-school-meal students), and catering operated by Aramark under manager Nicola Cooney via ParentPay.

Revenue is overwhelmingly derived from per-pupil government funding routed through Ealing Council, which centrally manages all Year 7 and in-year admissions through its e-admissions system. Paid enrichment (music tuition) and Aramark catering represent supplementary, not principal, income streams. The school operates an active Parent-Teacher-Friend Association registered as a charity (number 1125837) and runs community-facing initiatives including the School Uniform Project (830+ items distributed to 265+ families), Ealing Foodbank voucher scheme, and weekly City Harvest food distribution. Strategic positioning rests on Ofsted Outstanding Provider status, the Elthorne Values character education framework, and a partnership network spanning Jack Petchey Foundation, Pan Macmillan, National Literacy Trust, and Ealing Music Services.
