Our school is a two-form entry primary school, with a Nursery, located on the southern tip of the Isle of Dogs close to Island Gardens DLR Station and a short walk from Greenwich. We are a creative, visionary and forward-thinking school with exceptional children at our heart. For an inner-city school, we have an incredible amount of educational space both inside and outside, including a swimming pool and multiple astro-turf pitches.
Our most recent SIAMS inspection, in January 2026, noted the many strengths of the school and that “the school acts as a beacon within its diverse community and is a place where pupils and adults flourish”.
