About Seven Mills Primary School

Seven Mills Primary School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 71 per cent, but this school’s own figure is 65 per cent, putting it six points below the Tower Hamlets average. That gap is worth noting, though the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in its most recent inspection in 2023, suggests the school is still providing a solid standard of education. The school ranks 43rd out of 58 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the bottom quarter locally, and 6023rd nationally out of 13,686 primaries. For context, the top-performing schools in Tower Hamlets, such as Canary Wharf College, Glenworth and St Agnes RC Primary, achieve ranking scores in the low 90s, while Seven Mills scores 65. The school is also oversubscribed, with 29 first-preference applications for 29 places and 59 total applications, indicating strong local demand despite the below-average headline results.
