About Cubitt Town Primary School

Cubitt Town Primary School is a large state primary in Tower Hamlets, running close to capacity with 694 pupils against a school capacity of 700. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 55.6%, which is significantly above the national average and reflects the high deprivation levels in the local area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 177 applications for 87 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2.03. Of those applicants, 92 put the school as their first preference, and all 87 places were offered to first-preference families. The school has nursery provision for children aged three and up, and its mixed-gender, non-religious character means it serves a broad cross-section of the local community. Headteacher Robyn Bruce leads a school that, based on these numbers, is a popular choice among Tower Hamlets families.
