About Bangabandhu Primary School

Bangabandhu Primary School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. Inspectors awarded the top grade of Outstanding in three of the five categories: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, along with quality of education, were both judged Good. This represents a clear improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2011, when early years provision was rated Requires Improvement. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 77 per cent. That is comfortably above the Tower Hamlets local authority average of 71 per cent, placing the school 18th out of 58 primary schools in the borough and in the top 25 per cent nationally.
