Mulberry School for Girls
London, E1 2JP · Tower Hamlets · secondary school
3rd 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 — 9.2/10 against 343 of them, against 7.8/10 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 | 94 | 35% | 3.28 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.6 · 66 | 30% | 1.99 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.61 · 88 | 25% | 2.21 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.2 · 86 | 10% | 0.86 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.61 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Mulberry Youth Conference, School Council, and Prefect Leadership.
Getting in. The school has 1647 pupils in a capacity of 1400, meaning it is over capacity by 247. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 247 over-capacity figure? What support structures exist for pupils who do not secure a place? How does the leadership team maintain the Outstanding standard while managing such a large student body?
