The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Getting a place
Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this
Every child who put Eastbury Community School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Eastbury Community School at a glance
Located in Barking and Dagenham, Eastbury Community School is an all-through school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 2,134 pupils aged 3 to 19. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 84% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. At GCSE, the school's average Attainment 8 score was 44.8, broadly in line with the national average of 46. On our composite score, Eastbury Community School ranks among the top 7% of primary schools in England 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 110 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). At Key Stage 4, 38% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. Competition for places is real here - 82% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (73 first choices for 60 places). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 0.48 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 8.6%. There are about 16.0 pupils per teacher. Eastbury Community School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. 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.
