Barking

BARKING ABBEY SCHOOL IS A VERY LARGE SCHOOL ON TWO CAMPUSES IN EAST LONDON THAT SERVES THE BOROUGHS OF BARKING & DAGENHAM AND REDBRIDGE. We are a non-selective, comprehensive twelve form entry school with a proud tradition of academic and sporting success. The school is very popular in the local community for both Year 7 and sixth form admissions and is heavily oversubscribed. Barking Abbey School was founded in 1922 as one of the first co-educational grammar schools in England at the site in Longbridge Road. At the time, it was situated in a largely rural area, with fields and farmland close by. Gradually, as Barking began to expand as a residential centre, the school became the focal point for the community with an educational provision of national standing. In 1970, Barking Abbey Grammar School was merged with Park Modern School to form the Barking Abbey School we know today. Many traditions of the old schools remain, but with important developments to enable the school and its pupils to be fully prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of life in the twenty-first century. One thing remains central, however: we are an outstanding success. Barking Abbey school has a very large Sixth Form with approximately 450 students. As a result of this we are able to offer a large range of courses to our 16-19 year olds. We are proud of the fact that we are a multi-cultural community and we seek to celebrate our diversity in as many ways as possible. Tolerance of, respect for, and understanding of others are vital aspects of preparing young people for adult life. We want all of our pupils to Belong, Aspire, Succeed.

Nic and Jen have been best friends for over 18 years and have shared many experiences in both work and home life. They first met back in 2003 when Jen signed Nic up for an NVQ course and the two immediately got on! Jen could see that Nic had bags of potential whilst working at Fitness First and so when a role came up for a sport NVQ assessor with Jens Employer she put Nic’s name forward... Of course she got the job and so a working relationship was born. This very quickly built into a true friendship and the two have been inseparable ever since. They have supported each other through marriages, new homes, children, jobs and now the set up of their own company. Between them they have over 40 years experience of working in the fitness industry and the busy pair have first hand experience in many sporting disciplines... from powerlifting and triathlons to boxing and fitness modeling, they definitely understand their industry and this will be evident in your courses and training with GAIN Academy.
