Welcome to Grafton Primary School –

Where Every Child GROWS

Thursday May 7th 2026 - School closed for children (School being used as Polling Station)

Dear Families,

Welcome to Grafton Primary School, a vibrant and diverse community where every pupil is encouraged to grow, learn, and thrive. We celebrate the unique backgrounds of our pupils and work hard to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued.


Our REAL curriculum is designed to be relevant, engaging, and enquiry-led, inspiring a lifelong love of learning. We focus on respect, kindness, determination, and honesty, helping pupils develop not only academically but personally through a wide range of experiences.


Our website is here to keep you informed about school life, policies, and upcoming events. I warmly invite parents and prospective families to explore it and discover what makes Grafton special.


I look forward to meeting you—whether at the school gates or by appointment—and working together to support every child’s success.

My very best wishes,

Mrs Junaida Bana

Head Teacher

On Monday, 27th April, Mr Stefan and Mrs Armbuster accompanied a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils to a Mini Tennis Competition at Barking Riverside School. It was a fun and exciting event from the very start, with the children arriving full of energy and enthusiasm, ready to compete. Throughout the day, they put their tennis skills to the test against a range of other schools, demonstrating excellent determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
