Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School
About Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School
Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School sits well below the Tower Hamlets average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with just 50% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 71%. That gap of 21 percentage points places the school 55th out of 58 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 68% in writing, but maths lagged at 64%. Only 9% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and the same proportion did so in writing, though reading fared better at 23%. The school’s average reading score of 105 is solid, while the maths average of 100 is exactly the national benchmark. These results suggest that while the school supports most children to reach basic competence in literacy, it struggles to push a significant proportion to the higher levels, particularly in maths.
