About St Elizabeth Catholic Primary School

St Elizabeth Catholic Primary School is a primary school in London, Tower Hamlets, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 286 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 45% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 19.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Elizabeth Catholic Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 12 families who put it first were offered a place. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 55% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. St Elizabeth Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
