Check the area around this school
39th 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 — 7.4/10 against 2,104 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 25% | 2.35 |
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 Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Stepney Greencoat are “rightly proud to attend their school” and benefit from a “calm and focused” environment where they show “kindness and respect.” The interim leadership team has established an “ambitious and well-designed curriculum” in most subjects, supported by strong relationships with parents and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- Pupils follow a curriculum where important knowledge is “logically sequenced,” enabling them to “revisit and embed important ideas” in subjects like science and mathematics.
- Reading is a clear priority; staff implement the phonics programme with “precision,” ensuring many pupils become “accurate and confident readers.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well considered and cared for,” with staff making appropriate adaptations to ensure access to the curriculum.
- Behaviour is excellent, with bullying being “very rare” and incidents managed “quickly and effectively” by staff.
- Leaders work effectively with families to support attendance, while governors hold leaders to account through “strong partnership working.”
Areas to improve
- In a “small number of subjects,” overarching concepts and key knowledge have not been clearly identified or sequenced, meaning pupils do not develop a “deep body of knowledge.” Leaders must ensure these concepts are identified to support consistent learning across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with a “well qualified and experienced” team ensuring staff recognise signs of concern and report them swiftly.
