Headteacher Mark Keary was suspended from Green Springs Academy in Shoreditch in February after claims the school had fixed exam results.
Other staff were suspended alongside Mr Keary, who is believed to be paid £220,000 a year.
Green Springs has undergone a miraculous transformation, going from one of the worst performing to one of the best schools in the country.
Mr Keary joined in 2006, when the school was called Bethnal Green Technology College. It became an academy in 2012.
83 per cent of pupils gained an A-C grade in GCSE English and maths, according to recent results.
According to retired teacher John McKelvey, at least ten educators were summarily asked to leave. He told the reporters that were watching their backs.
'I would say it would be extremely difficult to get those kind of [GCSE grade] percentages from the student intake as I remember it, very difficult
Another teacher, Jahangir Alam, said: 'It really didn't matter how you got the result.'
The Department for Education said malpractice was found in the school and disciplinary action has been taken.
In a statement, Green Springs Academy said: 'The independent investigation commissioned by the trust board has now concluded and appropriate action is being taken which cannot be discussed for reasons of confidentiality.
The school last hit headlines two years ago when teenagers Shamima Begum, Amira Abase and Kadiza Sultana fled to Syria to join ISIS.
The trio left their home during the February half-term break and flew from Gatwick to Turkey.
The girls, aged 15 and 16 at the time, got the bus from Turkey to the Syrian
They are thought to have been radicalised online.
All three married in Syria but Kadiza Sultana became disillusioned with the extreme regime when her husband died.
In phone calls to her family, she told them that she wanted to go home but couldn't as the borders were closed.
She is believed to have died in a Russian air strike in May 2016.
