Primary Schools in East London

[anasvoboda]

HI All - Just shifted to London and looking for schools Bow/Bethnal Green Area for our children (nursery, Year 1 and Year 4).
Any input on Olga or Malmesbury Primary school in particular would be appreciated.

Due to covid restrictions we are unable to visit any of the schools any input/recommendations would be most appreciated.

My info is a few years old as we moved further east three years ago- mine went to Columbia primary, and had a wonderful time there. Friends had kids in Olga and were very happy and settled, it’s a really good school.

TH has defined catchment areas, so do check which schools are in your catchment; they are not always the nearest ones! We lived a good 25 minute walk from Columbia, but got a place as it was in our catchment.

I’m afraid I don’t know Malmesbury at all.

Good luck

My DD is in Olga and we’re very very happy with it. Very friendly, approachable staff, very focused on kids’ wellbeing, lots of nice extra curricular stuff. Very nice building and playground too.

Very happy to answer any questions. Feel free to PM me.

There’s a Facebook Group called E3 Mums and Dads - you’d get plenty of responses if you joined and asked there.
