Reception are Out and About

25 Feb

Our Eastbrook School Reception classes enthusiastically explored their local environment this term, comparing and contrasting different areas of Dagenham.

During their first visit, the children enjoyed a walk around the local area to discover the urban facilities needed for a busy town like ours. Whilst out and about, they noticed a wide range of features, including housing, a variety of shops and restaurants, a gym, the local football ground, a police station, excellent transport links, and even some exciting new Film and TV recording studios.

Reflecting on the visit, Viaan said, “I’m so happy that I now know what all of these buildings are that I pass on my way to school.”

Eastbrook School is an Ofsted rated Good, all-through school in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and is part of the Barking Abbey family. Founded in 1933, Eastbrook has a well-established history of serving the local community, with many generations of families attending as students and even joining as staff. The primary school opened in 2016 and is growing in size year on year. The secondary school transferred into new, state of the art buildings in 2017, benefiting from purpose-built specialist learning environments with industry level resources and outstanding access to green outdoor spaces.

Eastbrook is a thriving and growing community school, welcoming students from a broad range of backgrounds, culturally, economically and in terms of need.
