About English Martyrs Roman Catholic Primary School
English Martyrs Roman Catholic Primary School in Tower Hamlets holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade that reflects a solid improvement from its previous Outstanding rating in 2010. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 65% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just below the Tower Hamlets local authority average of 71%, placing the school 41st out of 58 primary schools in the borough. While the combined expected score is modest, individual subject results are stronger: 78% reached the expected level in reading and 74% in maths, with average scaled scores of 107 and 108 respectively. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in maths is 52%, and 48% in reading, suggesting that while many children meet expectations, fewer are stretching into the top bands across all three subjects simultaneously.
