Eastbrook School
Dagenham, RM10 7UR · Barking and Dagenham · all-through school
12th of 13 secondary schools in Barking and Dagenham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.7/10 against 650 of them, against 1.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |

| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.62 · 11 | 25% | 0.27 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 37.2 · 11 | 10% | 0.11 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in 2025-11. In 2024/25, 30.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.62 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Eastbrook's Got Talent, play football, badminton, cricket, athletics, basketball, netball, or rock climbing, and learn ukulele, recorder, piano, keyboard, or percussion. Trips include Trewern Outdoor Education Centre, the Oliver Twist Theatre Show, and Chestnut Court Christmas Carols. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. There are 1320 pupils in a school with 2638 places, leaving 1318 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
