Robert Clack School is located in the Borough of Barking and Dagenham and is named after Alderman Robert Clack, who served as Mayor of the Borough of Dagenham, as it was then known, between 1940 – 1942. He was a champion for social justice and equal opportunity. He worked tirelessly to advance the cause of the people of Dagenham and had great faith in them. At Robert Clack School, we have faith in our pupils and believe that they have the potential to be as successful as pupils anywhere in the country. The values by which Alderman Clack lived his life are the values that permeate the daily ethos of the school, the values of mutual respect, compassion, discipline, high expectations and aspirations, and hard work.
In September 2021, our Primary School opened and we became an all-through school. We are continuing to expand each academic year until our Primary School is full from Reception to Year 6.
