Malmesbury Primary School

Welcome to Malmesbury! We are a cosmopolitan school at the heart of our local community in Bow, Tower Hamlets.  Our little pocket of London brings together children from all backgrounds. We are proudly multicultural and inclusive. 

We focus on creating a positive, caring atmosphere for our children and families. Our school motto is “Be the Best You Can Be.”  We have high expectations of ourselves and everyone connected to our school community. We ask ourselves ‘what would it take?’ and then we do it! We are proud of how we work together and what we achieve.

We want our children to be happy, confident, ambitious and independent young people.  We offer great teaching and learning with all the support and guidance our children need along the way to thrive. We are passionate about growing respectful and responsible community members who understand and contribute to the world around them.

This website gives you an insight into the life of our school. However, to truly see what we are about, you need to experience our ethos. We welcome visitors to our school – come and see us and our values in action!
