Ealing Fields CE High School was opened as a Free School in 2016 and became part of the Twyford CE Academies Trust on 1st September 2017. Ealing Fields is the smallest of the Trust schools, with 168 in each Year Group and therefore often feels more like a family than a school. The staff community is very positive, highly motivated and fully engaged in professional development. The school moved to its brand-new permanent site in Northfields in September 2020 and achieved a Progress 8 score of +1.3 for the last four years. The team at Ealing Fields is relentlessly committed to providing the best possible education for all students.
