This popular average-sized school serves an inner city area that has high levels of social deprivation. The head teacher took up his post in April 2007. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is high. Over nine tenths of pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds, mainly Black African. Four fifths of pupils come from homes where English is not spoken as a first language. Just over a quarter of pupils have learning difficulties or disabilities, which is above average. The school works in partnership with other local schools to raise achievement through the creative arts. It receives funding and support from the South West Newham Education Action Zone. It has awards for promoting physical education and healthy lifestyles. All pupils, including children in the Nursery, receive weekly French lessons.
