St Luke's Church of England Primary School

London, E14 3EB · Tower Hamlets · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.6/10 Broadly average

44th 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 — 7.1/10 against 1,973 of them, against 5.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 64.0 · 49 40% 1.97

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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs like Digital Leaders and Junior Police Cadet Volunteers, participate in sports such as curling and cricket tournaments, and attend arts events including the Summer Concert and Nativity performances. Trips include visits to Southwark Cathedral and Parliament. There is no breakfast or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 393 pupils in a building with 480 places, leaving 87 spare places. 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 arrive without a breakfast or after-school club? What specific support is available for the 12.0% who reach the higher standard? How do you maintain the Good Ofsted rating while managing a class size significantly below capacity?
