About Malmesbury Primary School

Malmesbury Primary School sits in Tower Hamlets, one of London’s most diverse and densely packed boroughs for primary provision. Among 58 state primary schools in the local authority, it ranks 49th by KS2 expected standard attainment, placing it in the bottom half locally. For context, the top-performing peers nearby include Canary Wharf College, Glenworth, St Agnes RC Primary School and Globe Primary School, all scoring considerably higher on the same metric. The school is also within 0.4 km of Wellington Primary School, which holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Malmesbury itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2014, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. That’s a significant improvement from its previous overall rating of Inadequate in 2012, suggesting steady progress under headteacher Claire Stewart.
