Warren Junior School
About Warren Junior School
Warren Junior School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. With 559 pupils on roll against a capacity of 560, the school is effectively full, which suggests strong demand for places in this corner of Barking and Dagenham. While the data doesn't include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the fact that the school is oversubscribed to near-capacity is a practical signal of its reputation. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, catering for children aged 7 to 11, and sits within the Barking and Dagenham local authority. It has no religious character, so it doesn't prioritise admissions by faith, and it's led by headteacher J Bell. For parents weighing up options, the combination of a full roll and an Outstanding Ofsted rating from 2024 makes this a school that clearly commands trust in the community.
