About Eastbury Primary School

Eastbury Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 98 of its 101 places for the 2025/26 academic year going to first-preference applicants. The school received 251 applications in total, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.49, meaning nearly two and a half children applied for every available spot. This level of demand suggests strong parent confidence, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a parent view survey result to back that up directly. Headteacher Lisa Shepherd leads a large, mixed-gender state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. The school is non-religious and serves the Barking and Dagenham area. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in April 2024, the school was confirmed to remain Good, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014 when it was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all judged Good in the most recent graded inspection in 2019.
