About Eastlea Community School

Eastlea Community School presents a mixed picture for parents, based on the most recent Parent View responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025. Exactly half of the 24 respondents said they would recommend the school, while the other half said they would not. This split is reflected in the detail: 67% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, but only 63% felt their child is safe, and 58% agreed that the school has high expectations. On behaviour, 58% agreed pupils are well-behaved, though 38% disagreed. The school is heavily oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, with 189 applications for 78 places, a ratio of 2.42 applicants per place, and 53 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests that despite the divided parent view, many local families see Eastlea as a viable option.
