Every child who put Eastbrook School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Eastbrook School

Eastbrook School is an all-through school in Barking and Dagenham, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 1,198 pupils aged 4 to 19 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted (November 2025). 65% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. At GCSE, the school's average Attainment 8 score was 37.2, below the national average of 46. On our composite score, Eastbrook School ranks in the lower half of primary schools nationally for its primary (KS2) results. For its secondary (KS4) results, it ranks in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). At Key Stage 4, 31% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well below the national average of about 45%. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Eastbrook School their first choice was offered one of its 36 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 10.8%. There are about 14.3 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
