About Globe Primary School

Globe Primary School in Tower Hamlets has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted across the board in its most recent graded inspection, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all earning the top grade. The school has held this rating consistently since its previous inspection, when it was judged Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Outstanding. But the real story is in the numbers: 89% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, placing the school third out of 58 primary schools in Tower Hamlets and in the top 3% nationally. That’s well above the local authority average of 71%, and it puts Globe in the top five per cent of all primary schools in London.
