About All Saints Catholic School and Technology College

All Saints Catholic School and Technology College was rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating. The school’s Progress 8 score of 0.72 is the most telling academic metric here: it means pupils achieve nearly three-quarters of a grade more per subject than the national average. That score places the school well above average nationally and fourth out of 13 secondary schools in Barking and Dagenham. For context, the local authority average Progress 8 score is 0.23, so All Saints is performing at more than three times that rate. The school also ranks in the top 10% of all secondary schools in England on this measure, and within London it sits in the top 22% of 487 schools. This is clearly a school where pupils make strong academic progress from their starting points.

At GCSE, 74.7% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths, and the Attainment 8 score sits at 53.8, which is comfortably above the national average. The EBacc entry rate is high at 82.3%, with 44.7% of pupils achieving the EBacc at grade 4 or above. In the sixth form, the school’s value-added score is 0.12, which is in line with the national average, and the average A-level grade is a C+, with a points-per-entry score of 33.35. The sixth form was also judged Outstanding by Ofsted. The school’s Progress 8 breakdown shows particularly strong results in the open element (0.91) and in English (0.66), while maths and the EBacc subjects are also well above average. For a large secondary with 1,353 pupils, these results are consistent and impressive.

The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 580 applications for 237 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.45, and 214 of the 218 first-preference applicants were offered a place. Facilities are extensive and include a swimming pool, theatre, chapel, sixth form centre, astro turf, and a full range of science labs and music rooms. The school supports a wide range of SEND needs, including a dedicated SEN unit, and provisions for autism, dyslexia, speech and language needs, and physical disabilities. With 26.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse community and achieves strong outcomes across the board. This is a good fit for families who want a large, Catholic secondary with a proven track record of academic progress, a strong sixth form, and a broad range of extracurricular activities including sports, drama, and eco club.
