Eastbrook School
About Eastbrook School
Eastbrook School is a large all-through state school in Barking and Dagenham, taking pupils from age 4 right through to 19. Despite having a total capacity of 2,638 places, it currently has just 1,198 pupils on roll, meaning the school is operating at under half its potential size. That said, demand for Year 7 places in the 2025/26 admissions round was strong: the school received 354 applications for 110 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.22, and made 89 first-preference offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.2%, well above the national average and a clear indicator that the school serves a significantly disadvantaged community. The headteacher is Tony Roe, and the school has no religious character. It is a mixed, non-selective state school with an official sixth form, though it does not offer nursery provision.
