What The Good Schools Guide says..
A beacon of excellence in one of the most deprived areas of the capital (and indeed the country), which takes in students with low levels of attainment and sends most of them off to university. ‘You’re never bored and teachers give their all to make sure you both keep up and that you’re kept enthused – they have very high aspirations for us.’ An orderly atmosphere pervades, with a high level of attentiveness during lessons...

Headteacher
Since 2016, Paul Woods BA PGCE. Originally from Enniskillen in Northern Ireland, he studied French and politics at Kingston University and did his teacher training at the University of North London. Previously head of Bishop Stopford's CofE School in Enfield. Lives in north London, where he began his career as a French and Spanish teacher, moving up the ranks to deputy head, after which he moved to Barking ‘because I wanted to work in a more challenging location’. Later moved into his first headship at Bishop Stopford where, in his first week, the school was told by Ofsted that it ‘required improvement’ and he set to work getting it up to a ‘good’ status two years (to the day) later.

Interpreting catchment maps
The maps show in colour where the pupils at a school came from*. Red = most pupils to Blue = fewest.
Where the map is not coloured we have no record in the previous three years of any pupils being admitted from that location based on the options chosen.
For help and explanation of our catchment maps see: Catchment maps explained
Further reading
If there are more applicants to a school than it has places for, who gets in is determined by which applicants best fulfil the admissions criteria.
Admissions criteria are often complicated, and may change from year to year. The best source of information is usually the relevant local authority website, but once you have set your sights on a school it is a good idea to ask them how they see things panning out for the year that you are interested in.
Many schools admit children based on distance from the school or a fixed catchment area. For such schools, the cut-off distance will vary from year to year, especially if the school give priority to siblings, and the pattern will be of a central core with outliers (who will mostly be siblings). Schools that admit on the basis of academic or religious selection will have a much more scattered pattern.
*The coloured areas outlined in black are Census Output Areas. These are made up of a group of neighbouring postcodes, which accounts for their odd shapes. These provide an indication, but not a precise map, of the school’s catchment: always refer to local authority and school websites for precise information.
The 'hotter' the colour the more children have been admitted.
