About Chisenhale Primary School

Chisenhale Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result — 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — sits six percentage points below the Tower Hamlets local authority average of 71%. That places the school 41st out of 66 primary schools in the borough, a position that puts it in the lower half of local state primaries. The gap is not enormous, but it is clear: the average Tower Hamlets primary does better on this combined measure. However, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good across all five categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — with no Requires Improvement or Inadequate marks anywhere. That consistency suggests a school that is functioning well day-to-day, even if its headline academic outcomes don’t match the local average.
