Greatfields Primary School
About Greatfields Primary School
Greatfields Primary School is one of 45 primary schools in the Barking and Dagenham local authority, a London borough where only four primaries hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The nearest of those is Thames View Infants, 1.6 kilometres away. Among its local peers, the school sits behind the three top-ranked institutions in the area: Rush Green Primary School, St Margarets CofE Primary School, and The St Teresa Catholic Primary School. Greatfields is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. The headteacher is Sarah Kinnaird. The school currently operates well below its capacity of 630 pupils, with just 20 children on roll, and 30 per cent of them are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average.
