About Date Palm Primary

Our take

Independent co-ed nursery in Tower Hamlets for ages 2–11. Selective entry, established SEND provision, lower fees than the London average.

Best for
  • Children aged 2–11.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
  • Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Dyslexia, Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and related needs — SEND is a stated specialism.
  • Families looking for an independent option below the London average for fees.
Watch-outs
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
