About The Clara Grant Primary School

If you're a parent in Tower Hamlets looking at The Clara Grant Primary School, the first thing you'll notice is that it's a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 80 applications for just 39 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.05. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all 39 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This level of demand is a strong signal that local parents rate the school highly, and it's consistent with the school's overall Good rating from Ofsted, which it has held since its most recent graded inspection in 2014. The school's most recent ungraded inspection, in 2022, confirmed it 'remains Good'. It's worth noting that the school's previous inspection, back in 2008, rated it Outstanding, so the current Good rating represents a change from that earlier high mark.
