Discover Eastlea Community School in Newham, a co-educational secondary school where students thrive academically and personally in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Welcome to Eastlea Community School. Over the past five years our school has made significant strides and was judged Good in all areas in our most recent inspection.
We are deeply proud of what our staff, students, families, and the wider community have achieved together. Our ambition is clear: every student, regardless of background, should access a broad, well-sequenced curriculum, feel safe and respected, and be equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive.
Eastlea is recognised as a safe, kind and welcoming school, where equality, respect and tolerance lie at the heart of what we do.
In our recent inspection the inspectors not only recognised the good quality of education but also noted the high ambitions we have for our students; the broad curriculum; the calm learning environment, the comprehensive programme of personal development opportunities for our students; our targeted support for reading; the many opportunities we provide for our children to develop their talents and interests and the many educational visits our children experience to a range of museums, theatres and field trips.
