Welcome from theExecutive Headteacher
Welcome to Eastbrook School. For me there are three simple things that I want us to achieve:
First, we believe in character education, which is delivered through all schools. Through this we instil the key habits needed for young people to be successful in life. It also pushes us to be the best in everything we do. Across our schools we have some of the best results in the area. We have students at the best universities, we have the most students on apprenticeships in the entire country, we have students on international scholarships and much more. We have all of this because we push our students and each other to try hard and be our best each and every day.
Second, I believe that if you can’t see it, you can’t be it. We want to give our students the chance to see successful people of every religion, colour and background whilst they are at school. Whatever their dreams we want to support them and provide the networks and contacts to help them to achieve.
Finally, we want our students to have a voice in the world. To be confident enough to express their views and also to have the knowledge to be able to make an effective contribution. The more you know, the more powerful you can be in the world.
Ofsted recognised our incredible achievements by awarding us with 4 STRONG judgements in 2025 for Behaviour and Attendance, Leadership and Governance, Inclusion and Early Years. They said our pupils are ‘safe and happy’, that ‘behaviour is a real strength’, the school has ‘high ambition for pupils’ and that pupils ‘get off to a flying start’.
Eastbrook is part of the Barking Abbey family and in joining our community you will be part of a group that educates nearly 5000 students with over 400 staff. We are well regarded with a fantastic reputation due to our supportive culture for staff, inclusive environments for students and excellent academic achievements at all levels.
Kind regards,
Tony Roe - Executive Headteacher
