Three Bridges Primary School

General Information

Address: Melbury Avenue, Norwood Green, Southall, UB2 4HT – View on map
Phone: 02085711491
Website: Visit school website
Headteacher: Dr Jeremy Hannay
Age range: 3-11 years
Furthest place offered from: Not distance-based that year - all applicants offered From the council's own Sept 2026 admissions data - not a fixed catchment boundary, and no guarantee for future years, since it shifts with demand each year.
Demand for places (Reception, September 2026): 52 families put it first for 54 places – 10 for every 10 places. Every one of them was offered a place. 3 of the 54 places went to families living outside the council area. Children putting it first, for every 10 places: 2023 11 · 2024 10 · 2025 9 · 2026 10
Sixth form: No
Intake: Mixed
Religious character: Does not apply
Nursery provision: Yes

Who goes here

422 pupils out of 446 places At or near capacity

Pupils eligible for free school meals: 115
% eligible for free school meals: 28.1%
Pupil mix: 9 in 10 (more mixed than the Ealing average)
English as an additional language: 55% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

Teacher turnover: 12.6% a year (Ealing 17.9%, typical in England 13.9%)
Where they went: about 21% moved to another school, 79% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house.

Behaviour

Awaiting Data

About this Behaviour status

We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.

Across Ealing: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 1 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 4 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 0 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Ealing, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

Attendance

Overall absence: 7.8%
Persistently absent pupils: 25.5%
Data year: 2024/25

About persistent absence

A pupil is counted as "persistently absent" if they miss 10% or more of their possible school sessions - roughly one day in every two weeks. Schools and Ofsted both pay close attention to this figure specifically, since it can highlight a pattern the overall absence rate alone might hide.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 18.2%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 3.3%
Data year: 2025/26

Most common needs - SEN Support

Speech, language and communications needs: 48 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 18 pupils
SEN support but no specialist assessment of type of need: 5 pupils
Autistic spectrum disorder: 3 pupils
Other difficulty or disability: 2 pupils

Most common needs - EHC Plan

Speech, language and communications needs: 10 pupils
Social, emotional and mental health: 2 pupils
Vision impairment: 1 pupil
Autistic spectrum disorder: 1 pupil

About these SEND figures

These figures give a sense of the makeup of the school - they aren't a judgement on the quality of support provided.

About this Ofsted rating

Year 6 SATs ranking

Junior and primary schools in this area, ranked by the % of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (official DfE results, 2024/25). Schools with the same result share a place (shown as =). In small schools one or two children can move a school several places, so treat close positions as roughly equal.
