About Greatfields School


Greatfields School is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational, secondary free school, situated in the Gascoigne community in Barking, East London.

Greatfields School is a partner school within the multi-academy educational trust – Partnership Learning.

Although Greatfields School’s priority is maximising examination success, it believes school is not just about academic study.
