About Us

In this multi-cultural school community, pupils are well-behaved and motivated with good discipline and supportive families. The staff team is creative and enthusiastic and has been providing a high standard of innovative education over the course of the lockdown and since.

The school is part of a successful Multi-Academy Trust. Routines and collaborative working are embedded in our practice, but we constantly seek to improve our work and thus seek energetic innovators. The Trust welcomes staff and pupils from all faiths while operating within a Christian ethos. We are firmly committed to staff CPD at all levels.

Our schools are based in a quiet setting in the heart of the Isle of Dogs in Tower Hamlets, yet close to Mudchute, Island Gardens and Crossharbour DLR stations and central London. The school works long days, balanced by shorter terms.

If you have any questions, please e-mail the Director of Human Resources, Michelle Richards at mrichards@canarywharfcollege.co.uk.
