The school is operated by Partnership Learning, a multi-academy trust overseeing 20 primary, secondary and special schools across London boroughs including Havering and Barking & Dagenham. Located at the heart of one of Havering Council’s most ambitious new communities, Beam Park encompasses an eight-phase masterplan delivering approximately 4,000 homes.

Park Primary Academy was constructed by Kier for the Department for Education. Developed on a former brownfield site, the school exemplifies Kier’s commitment to creating modern, sustainable learning environments. It is among the first DfE-backed schools to benefit from district heating via the Beam Park network and has achieved a BREEAM “Very Good” rating for environmental performance.

Key sustainability features include optimised natural light and ventilation to enhance wellbeing and reduce energy demand; high-performance insulated glazing for improved thermal efficiency; and rooftop photovoltaic panels generating renewable electricity, with surplus exported back to the grid.

The school will grow to serve 420 pupils aged 4 to 11, expanding from an initial single-form entry in Reception to two forms per year group by 2032. A nursery will be added once local demand grows. The school also features specialist SEND provision for pupils with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Moderate Learning Difficulty (MLD), and Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), to be commissioned by the local authority when required.
