Welcome to Canary Wharf Primary, East Ferry. It is a real privilege to be the Principal of such a vibrant, ambitious and caring school community.

At East Ferry, children are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, valued and inspired to achieve their very best.
Our school is built on strong relationships, high expectations and a deep sense of belonging. We believe children thrive when they feel known, supported and challenged, and we work hard to create an environment where every pupil can succeed, regardless of their starting point.
Our values of respect, resilience, kindness, love for learning and belonging are woven through every aspect of school life. They shape the way we learn, work and care for one another, helping us to build a community where everyone feels proud to belong.
High-quality teaching and learning sit at the heart of our work. We provide a broad, ambitious and carefully sequenced curriculum that develops knowledge, skills and understanding while nurturing curiosity, creativity and confidence. Alongside strong foundations in reading, writing and mathematics, we place great importance on pupils’ personal development, wellbeing and character, preparing them not only for the next stage of education but for life beyond school.
Inclusion is central to who we are. We work closely with families, staff and external partners to ensure that every child receives the support they need to flourish. We celebrate diversity, value every individual’s contribution and are committed to removing barriers so that all pupils can thrive.
Safeguarding and wellbeing underpin everything we do. We strive to create a calm, nurturing and purposeful environment where children feel secure, develop positive relationships and are ready to learn.
Our partnership with parents and carers is incredibly important to us. Through open communication, trust and collaboration, we work together to ensure that every child leaves East Ferry as a confident, compassionate and successful young person.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school. I warmly invite you to visit us and experience first-hand the energy, ambition and sense of community that make Canary Wharf Primary, East Ferry such a special place.
