About Sebright School

Sebright School is a state primary in Hackney, one of 51 schools of its type in the borough, and it sits 22nd in the local authority rankings. That places it just outside the top tier of Hackney primaries, with Simon Marks Jewish Primary School, Southwold Primary School, and Grazebrook Primary School taking the top three spots. Still, Sebright has its own strong claim to attention: its most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2025 judged the school Outstanding overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and the quality of education. That’s a clear step up from its previous Good rating in 2019. The school is led by headteacher Robin Warren and serves 441 pupils aged 3 to 11, with capacity for 460. It’s a non-religious, mixed school, and it has a nursery provision for younger children. Just 0.4 km away is St. Paul's With St. Michael's CofE Primary School, another Outstanding-rated local option.
