About George Green's School

George Green's School is a popular choice among families in Tower Hamlets, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 348 applications for 197 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.77. Of those applications, 164 were first-preference choices, and 159 of those families received offers. That means nearly every family who put it first got a place, but the overall competition is clear. The school is a large, mixed, non-denominational secondary with a sixth form, and it serves a diverse community — 50.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held since its 2013 graded inspection, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good.
