Who goes here

460 pupils out of 472 places At or near capacity
  • Pupils eligible for free school meals: 94
  • % eligible for free school meals: 22.8%
  • Pupil mix: 9 in 10 (similar to the Barking and Dagenham average)
  • English as an additional language: 67% (England 22%)

Staff

Teachers leaving each year

  • Teacher turnover: 12.1% a year (Barking and Dagenham 13.8%, typical in England 13.9%)
  • Where they went: about 32% moved to another school, 68% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
  • Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)

Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house.

Supply and cover teaching

  • Classes taught mainly by supply or cover staff for half a term or more: 1 (a full term or more: 0)
  • Teaching posts vacant or only temporarily filled during the year: 1
  • Days of supply or agency teacher cover: 35
  • Data year: 2025/26 (from the school, under Freedom of Information)

Government figures only count teachers on contracts of 28 days or more, so a class covered by a run of supply teachers doesn't show up in them – which is why we ask schools directly.

Behaviour

Typical record 2025/26

Reading the numbers: higher figures below often mean a school records thoroughly and takes concerns seriously, rather than more incidents happening. A school reporting unusually low figures sometimes has a reporting gap rather than a problem-free intake. If a figure stands out, it's worth asking the school how it records.

  • Data year: 2025/26
  • Bullying incidents: 0
  • Physical aggression / violence incidents: 14
  • Child protection referrals: 6
  • Safeguarding concerns: 27
  • Racist incidents: 3
  • Suspensions (fixed-term exclusions): 1
  • Permanent exclusions: 0
  • Sexual harassment or sexual violence between pupils (recorded incidents): 0 (led to a suspension or exclusion: 0; referred to social care or police: 0) – a higher number can mean a school takes reports seriously and records them carefully

Figures may show "<5" for some schools.

Across Barking and Dagenham: suspensions by reason

  • Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 1 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
  • Suspensions for bullying: 1 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
  • Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 1 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
  • Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state primary schools in Barking and Dagenham, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

  • Persistently absent pupils: 16.9%
