Check the area around this school
11th of 17 secondary schools in Tower Hamlets we can score, 18 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 — 6.3/10 against 880 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 48.9 · 60 | 46% | 2.76 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.1 · 42 | 38% | 1.63 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 48.7 · 64 | 15% | 0.98 |
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 London Enterprise Academy
Overview
London Enterprise Academy is a secondary academy where leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The report describes a school where staff inspire pupils to contribute positively to society and where current students are rapidly improving their understanding and application of knowledge. While the school has moved from a previous ‘Requires improvement’ judgement, some aspects of the curriculum and assessment practices require further refinement to fully realise these ambitions.
Strengths
- The curriculum is designed to prepare pupils for life beyond school, with knowledge carefully sequenced to support future aspirations.
- Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour, understanding and following rules which supports learning for themselves and others.
- Effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities ensures they can fully access learning and approach work with growing independence.
- Reading strategies successfully build confidence and a love of reading, helping pupils who have fallen behind to catch up quickly.
- Enrichment opportunities, such as visits to museums and trips abroad, are highly valued by pupils and enhance their learning experiences.
Areas to improve
- Teaching does not routinely use assessment to check if pupils have learned essential knowledge, leading to uncorrected misconceptions and gaps in understanding.
- The personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum is not designed or taught in a coherent, sequenced way, leaving some pupils less prepared for life in modern Britain.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
