Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Kobi Nazrul Primary School

Kobi Nazrul Primary School is a primary school in London, Tower Hamlets, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 239 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Kobi Nazrul Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 21 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 0.50 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 22.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 39% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Kobi Nazrul Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
