Marner Primary School
About Marner Primary School
Marner Primary School in Tower Hamlets holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 77% of pupils. That figure is notably above the Tower Hamlets local authority average of 71%, placing Marner 21st out of 66 primary schools in the borough. In the school’s own ranking system, this performance puts it in the top 25% of schools nationally. The 2023/24 results also show strong maths outcomes, with 93% of pupils reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 107, while reading and writing expected rates were 86% and 78% respectively. Higher standard attainment is more modest — 9% reached the higher bar across all three subjects — but the school’s core strength is clearly in getting the vast majority of its pupils to the expected level.
