In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we are a primary school with one form entrance for students aged 3 to 11. All of the students at Virginia receive a good education in a welcoming and accepting environment. We have high expectations for our school community because we firmly think that everyone should be inspired to achieve the best version of themselves. Our vision is driven by our values of inclusion, growth, empowerment, and adventure so that we may continuously improve outcomes for all. I am very proud of our academic achievements, our committed and enthusiastic staff and creative, rich curriculum, but most importantly, I am incredibly proud of our children. They enthusiastically accept everything we have to give and as a result, become self-reliant, optimistic learners. Most importantly, they uphold our values and are dedicated to promoting diversity and equality. We want our children to have a sense of belonging to the world they inhabit and to grow up with a positive outlook on the world and their future as contributing members of society. We are linked and full of hope. Visitors frequently praise our philosophy, the joyful, purposeful setting, and the children's and staff's cordial welcome. I hope this website provides you with a taste of our dynamic and fascinating school.
