About Kobi Nazrul Primary School

Kobi Nazrul Primary School sits within Tower Hamlets, a London borough with 66 primary schools, where it ranks 24th overall. That places it comfortably in the top half of local primaries, though a little behind the three highest-scoring peers in the area: Canary Wharf College, Glenworth, St Agnes RC Primary School, and Globe Primary School. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character. It has a nursery provision and is led by headteacher Belinda King. With 239 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, it is effectively full. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2025, found that the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2016, when it was rated Good overall. The early years provision, leadership and management were all judged Good, and the school has clearly moved on from an earlier Inadequate rating back in 2014.
