About Woolmore Primary School

Woolmore Primary School in Tower Hamlets is a large state primary running almost at full capacity with 654 pupils against a school capacity of 660. The school serves a diverse community where half of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure significantly higher than the national average and reflective of the local area's demographic profile. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 114 applications for 73 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Of those applications, 61 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to all first-preference applicants. This suggests that while competition exists, families who rank Woolmore first have a realistic chance of securing a spot. The school also offers nursery provision, which may help families get a foot in the door early.
