St Paul's Whitechapel Church of England Primary School
London, E1 8HY · Tower Hamlets · primary school
37th 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 — 7.7/10 against 2,257 of them, against 6.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join cooking and multi-sports clubs, learn African drumming, take singing lessons, or join the school choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 198 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 12 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 12 places remaining, how quickly do new places fill up during the year? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is available for pupils arriving early? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths?
