Check the area around this school
45th of 60 primary schools in Tower Hamlets we can score, 66 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.4/10 against 806 of them, against 5.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
This is a “caring and welcoming community school” where pupils feel “very safe” and are treated as individuals. Leaders have managed the recent amalgamation of the infant and junior schools “exceptionally well,” creating a highly ambitious environment that prepares pupils effectively for their future education.
Strengths
- Behaviour is “excellent,” with pupils taking pride in being “courteous and polite” and showing kindness to one another.
- The curriculum is “carefully sequenced” and “broad and ambitious,” with some subjects exceeding national expectations.

- The school’s oracy programme is “expertly delivered,” encouraging pupils to form opinions and debate complex issues respectfully.
- Early years provision is strong, with children eagerly following routines and developing independence in a well-organised outdoor space.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is “less well-developed,” and the school must refine content to ensure pupils achieve equally well across all subjects.
- Expectations for written work in some subjects are lower than in English, resulting in “variable” quality; the school should ensure pupils practise English skills across the curriculum.
