About Bonner Primary School

Bonner Primary School sits in Tower Hamlets, a borough where the average proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 71%. Bonner's figure of 59% is notably below that LA average, and the school ranks 52nd out of 58 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the bottom half locally and in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced than a single headline metric suggests. In reading, 81% of pupils met the expected standard, and 78% did so in writing, both well above the school's combined score. Maths is the weaker area, with 70% reaching the expected level. At the higher standard, 27% achieved in maths, 25% in reading, and 11% in writing, while just 9% hit the higher bar across all three subjects. The school's average scaled scores of 105 in both reading and maths are solid, but the overall ranking reflects the challenge of lifting all three subjects together.
