Hermitage Primary School
London, E1W 2PT · Tower Hamlets · primary school
46th 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 — 9.1/10 against 1,764 of them, against 8.2/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join gardening and Playcentre clubs, visit Wick Court Farm, an activity centre, and Hardelot Centre, and attend a breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 272 pupils in a building with 330 places, leaving 58 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard? What specific improvements are being made following the 2024 inspection? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning routine?
