About the school
This dynamic all-through school in Barking is driven by a powerful mission: to ensure that every child—regardless of background—has the opportunity to succeed at the highest level.

Here, teaching is seen as a craft—one that demands constant reflection, creativity, and a deep commitment to professional growth.
