Check the area around this school
13th of 16 secondary schools in Hackney we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 251 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.5/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 60.0 · 81 | 30% | 2.44 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.02 · 52 | 25% | 1.30 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 48.2 · 61 | 10% | 0.61 |
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 Lubavitch House School (Senior Girls)
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils feel like part of a family, supported by a "culture of care" modelled by adults. Leaders have established warm, respectful working relationships, and behaviour is generally calm, allowing everyone to learn effectively.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "generally well designed and ambitious," with knowledge "typically well sequenced" so pupils can embed understanding and prepare for more demanding learning.
- Reading is a "clear priority," with pupils encouraged to read "often and widely" to enrich vocabulary and learn about other cultures.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities access a "full curriculum" and receive "well-focused support" to keep up with peers.
- Sixth-form students benefit from a "broader range of subjects and courses" and act as positive role models for younger pupils.
- Staff enjoy working at the school and appreciate how leaders support them to "manage their workload."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must consider the curriculum in music and design technology in more depth, as pupils currently "do not develop a detailed knowledge and understanding in these subjects."
- Leaders should identify the "important ideas and concepts" in these subjects and sequence them carefully so pupils can "learn and remember more over time."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to report concerns quickly and work closely with external agencies to ensure appropriate support is in place.
