St Mary with St Richard, Northolt

St Mary the Virgin is a 13th-century Anglican parish church in Northolt, London Borough of Ealing. It is on a slope shared with Belvue Park, the site of a 15th-century manor house — both overlooked the old village of Northolt. It is one of London's smallest churches, its nave measuring 15 yards (14 m) by 8 yards (7.3 m). The church was built around 1290 and was expanded over the centuries, with the chancel being added in 1521, the spired bell tower in the 16th century, and a gallery at the west end of the church in 1703. Twin buttresses were erected against the west wall around 1718 to alleviate concerns that the church could slip down the hill. The internal beams are original and the bells date from the 17th century. The church was constructed from a variety of materials; the nave incorporates clunch (a type of limestone), flint and ironstone, and the mouldings of the doors and windows are made from Reigate Stone. The church has been important ecclesiastically. From the 13th century to 1873 its rector was the Bishop of London, delegating the benefice (living, role as priest) to a vicar during that time. In the late 20th century it became the first Anglican parish to appoint a female rector, Rev. Pamela Walker. It is one of two churches in the parish; the second, dedicated to St Richard, is large and modern. The churches share the same most senior cleric (rector) who conducts morning Sunday service at St Mary's Church, assists with the Sunday School, and then another service at 5pm at St Richard's Church.

Alec Reed Academy

Alec Reed Academy is a mixed all-through school and sixth form located in the Northolt area of the London Borough of Ealing, England. The school operates nursery, primary, secondary and sixth form departments for pupils ages 3 to 19. Its predecessor, Walford Secondary School, was founded in 1955 as a secondary modern school for 11- to 16-year-olds. It later became Walford High School under the comprehensive system. The school changed its name to Compton High School and Sports College in 2001, after the Middlesex and England cricketer, Denis Compton. In 2003 Compton High School and Northolt Primary School were merged on the same site to form West London Academy, one of the first academies to be created in England. The school moved to new buildings on the same site in 2005. In 2012 the West London Academy was renamed Alec Reed Academy, in honour of its sponsor, the entrepreneur Alec Reed. The school shares its campus with John Chilton School, a special school for pupils who have a physical and/or a medical disability. Because of this the two schools share many facilities and the entire campus is wheelchair accessible. In June 2015 Ofsted awarded the Academy a "Good" rating. The rating was reaffirmed in June 2018, when Ofsted noted the school's strengths in ".....learning in the early years and primary phases", and its general sense of inclusivity. For maths and writing, the Academy achieved a "Well Above Average" rating for its overall performance at end of key stage 2, in 2017.
