Mayflower achieved the best Standard Assessment Tests (SATS) results amongst all 1,500 state and independent primary schools surveyed by the Sunday Times across England.
The Sunday Times Parent Power survey analysed the top 250 primary schools across the independent and state sectors in England.
It ranked them by the aggregated average scaled scores achieved by children in reading, grammar and mathematics from SATS tests taken in 2019 (results released in 2020).
Three other Tower Hamlets primary schools were also ranked in the top 100 primary schools in Greater London.
Dee Bleach, headteacher at Mayflower Primary School, said: “We were delighted to hear the news.
“Our success is due to how everyone works together at Mayflower, we really are a community school and my thanks goes to everyone who is part of our school community.”
Lutfur Rahman, mayor of Tower Hamlets, added: “Congratulations to all the Tower Hamlets primary schools who have been recognised in the Sunday Times 2023 league tables.
“Tower Hamlets prioritises children’s education and has excellent schools, with 96 per cent being rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.
“These results are a credit to the education staff and pupils who work hard every day to achieve admirable outcomes.”
