About St Saviour's Church of England Primary School

St Saviour's Church of England Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you line it up against the Tower Hamlets average for Key Stage 2. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 71 per cent, but at St Saviour's that figure is 52 per cent. That puts the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the borough, ranked 54th out of 58, and in the bottom 10 per cent nationally on that specific metric. Yet the picture isn't straightforward. The school's Ofsted rating is Outstanding, a grade it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in July 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained. Leadership and management, as well as early years provision, were both judged Outstanding. So you have a school that Ofsted rates at the very top, but whose headline SATs results sit well below the local norm.
