The 15-year-old is reported to be the first of four GCSE pupils from the same school to head to the war-torn country to become jihadi brides.
She left the UK in December and is believed to be in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa with pals Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, according to the Daily Mail.
Miss Begum was a pupil at Bethnal Green academy in east London and left Britain before her friends, the paper claims.
It came after new footage emerged purporting to show Sultana, Abase and Shamima Begum just before they were smuggled across the border into Syria.
