Mulberry Canon Barnett Primary Academy

London, E1 7RQ · Tower Hamlets · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2026 Inspected this year Mixed Primary
4.2/10 Broadly average

58th 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 — 4.6/10 against 1,491 of them, against 3.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 166 pupils in a school with 315 places, leaving 149 spare places. 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 do the smaller class sizes affect individual support for pupils? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school plan to raise the percentage of pupils reaching the higher standard?
