Check the area around this school
35th 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 — 7.7/10 against 2,106 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Hague Primary School
Overview
Hague Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy, polite, and display positive attitudes towards their learning. The curriculum is described as "ambitious for all pupils," fostering a culture of aspiration where students achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils are "fluent and confident readers" due to a well-planned phonics programme and daily reading opportunities.
- Teachers deliver lessons in a "clear sequence" that builds on previous learning, ensuring pupils secure understanding and retain key ideas.
- Staff effectively identify and support gaps in knowledge, helping pupils feel "confident when learning something new."
- The school offers a broad range of enrichment opportunities, including trips to museums, cricket coaching, and residential visits to build independence.
- Governors provide strong support, and staff feel "valued and supported" with considerate management of workload.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to refine the English curriculum to ensure writing is as strongly supported as reading, as the current approach "does not provide as strong a foundation in writing."
- The curriculum is "not as effective in developing pupils’ knowledge of how to spell and write words with increasing accuracy," which holds pupils back from recording their own ideas confidently.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff who are "well trained to identify and respond to pupils who may be at risk" and vigilant in acting on concerns promptly.
