School figures

Coloured bars compare this school with the average for other schools in E3. Where we have them, council (Tower Hamlets) and England figures appear under FSM, SEN and attendance. FSM, SEN and EAL are context, not quality scores. For attendance, higher is usually better.

Each metric uses its own colour so you can tell the rows apart. The lighter bar is the E3 average; the darker bar is this school. SEN is not compared with the district average for special, pupil referral or alternative provision schools, because almost all pupils have identified needs.
