The secondary school, situated in Canning Town, has the capacity to accommodate 1200 students. Eastlea has a large number of high needs students including PMLD.  

We pride ourselves in being a diverse school with over 80 different languages spoken amongst our students, many of these students are mid-phase admissions having newly arrived in the country.  We understand that our students need to be prepared for the fast evolving future where vital skills like resilience and independent thinking are as important as core skills and teamwork, and so in Key Stage 3 we follow the National Curriculum for Years 7, 8 and 9, with GCSE studies beginning at the start of year 10.

Key Stage 4 offers learning pathways to best suit individual students. English Baccalaureate is offered and students are encouraged to take a language and history/geography, our curriculum at this stage is designed to give students the best possible preparation for Key Stage 5 study.
