What Eastbury primary school does

Eastbury Primary School is a state-funded 4-form entry primary school located on Dawson Avenue in Barking, Essex, within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It is part of the Partnership Learning Multi-Academy Trust and serves children from Nursery (age 3) through Year 6 (age 11), with approximately 120 children per year group and an 88-place nursery (36 morning, 36 afternoon, 16 all-day). The school delivers the full UK national curriculum alongside specialist provisions including a Deaf Additionally Resourced Provision (Deaf ARP), a Sunshine room for SEND, and an extensive SEND support service; about 86% of pupils have English as an Additional Language, and the school holds the EAL Academy Gold Quality Mark. Operational technology is non-proprietary and comprises standard educational platforms — Bromcom (MIS), CPOMS (safeguarding), Microsoft Teams (remote learning), Tapestry (Early Years journal), ClassDojo (KS1 communication), Reading Eggs, Times Tables Rockstars, and White Rose Education — with the website hosted by Schudio and internet content provided by LGfL.

The school's revenue model is government-funded: it receives per-pupil funding through LBBD under the DfE national funding formula, provides free education to all pupils, and offers funded early education places for eligible 3-year-olds depending on birth date. Wraparound services (Breakfast Club and Eagles after-school provision) may carry associated fees, but these are supplementary. Admissions are processed centrally via LBBD, with a 15 January deadline for Reception starters and in-year applications handled through the borough. Leadership is led by Headteacher Lisa Shepherd, with Claire Trench serving as Deputy Headteacher, Inclusion Lead, and Deputy SENCO, supported by SENCO Satvir Kaur, EAL Lead Irena Markova, Director of Phonics Grace Abwooli, and a Family Support Worker.

Strategically, the school has positioned itself around inclusion, multilingualism, and rights-based education, evidenced by the EAL Academy Gold Quality Mark, SEND & Inclusion Award, the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award journey, and the Anti-Racist School Award pledge. A whole-school Zones of Regulation framework underpins behaviour and wellbeing support, and partnerships with the LBBD Early Help team, Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, and OpenView Education extend its safeguarding and inclusion reach. The school is fully enrolled at capacity, with the next Reception cohort scheduled to begin in September 2026.
