Eastbury Community School
Barking, IG11 9UW · Barking and Dagenham · all-through school
10th of 13 secondary schools in Barking and Dagenham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.0/10 against 820 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. 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 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 38.3 · 36 | 30% | 1.07 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.21 · 65 | 25% | 1.63 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 44.8 · 45 | 10% | 0.45 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 38.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.8, slightly above the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.21 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Book Club, Chess club, Creative Club/Set Design, Drama Club, French Year 7 Club, Korean Club, and Radio Controlled Car Club. Sports include basketball, netball, table tennis, trampolining, football, and futsal. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 2039 pupils in a capacity of 2236 places, leaving 197 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help in English and maths? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for Year 11 students given the recent inspection?
