Gascoigne Primary School

What Gascoigne Primary School does

Gascoigne Primary School is a UK state-funded primary school operating across two sites in Barking, Essex — the main Gascoigne Road campus and the Shaftesbury site, which houses In-School Provisions for children with Autism Spectrum Condition. The school delivers the national curriculum from Nursery through Year 6 (ages 3-11) to families in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, with an Ofsted 'Good' rating achieved in June 2022. Its academic core is built on Read Write Inc. Phonics, the Maths — No Problem! mastery approach, and the NCETM Mastering Number Programme, supplemented by digital tools (Seesaw for parent communication, NumBots for arithmetic, Parentpay for payments) delivered through a Juniper Education website platform.

Beyond core academics, the school operates a specialist SEND vertical with three dedicated classrooms (Star, Rainbow, Sunshine) serving 29 children with Autism Spectrum Condition, supported by external educational psychologists and speech and language therapists. Wraparound care is provided through Junior Adventures Group (JAG), and community engagement is anchored by Family Liaison Practitioners, Box Up Crime, the Hasan Ozcan Weekend School, and an active PTA. Leadership comprises Co-Headteachers Mrs A Buchner and Mr J Fox, supported by Assistant Headteachers including Ms C Monks (Inclusion Manager) and a Governing Board.

Revenue derives from UK government sources — primarily Department for Education formula funding routed through the local authority, supplemented by Pupil Premium Grant for disadvantaged pupils and Universal Infant Free School Meals income — with marginal contributions from PTA fundraising, school meal charges, and uniform-related commercial arrangements. There is no commercial tuition revenue, no private equity ownership, and no disclosed financial statements beyond the statutory salary band disclosure (two staff in the £120,000-£129,999 band). Admissions are processed through LBBD, making the school a regulated community institution rather than a market-participating enterprise.
