These are exciting times for the Royal Docks Community School which is about to become a Trust School in partnership with the Cooperative College and the University of East London. Whilst currently in Special Measures a recent Ofsted monitoring visit has remarked “Teachers have successfully created supportive learning environments … with good relationships and mutual respect very evident.” This is reflected in improved academic standards.

This 8 form entry school situated in Docklands close to the Excel Centre and City Airport has a strong inclusive philosophy with resource provision for PMLD students. It occupies striking buildings dating from 2000, which will be further developed as part of Newham’s BSF programme.
