Lister Community School is a mixed community school. Our school motto is Always Aiming for Excellence and our ambition is to provide a world class education for young people in Newham. We challenge and support our students to excel in every area and have a great track record of both achieving great academic performance, and nurturing impressive young people who are well equipped for whatever their next step might be.

The staff, governing body and pupils of Lister Community School would welcome you applying for a place at our popular school. To do this you must follow the correct process for your child’s age as detailed below.

Our school is part of Newham Community Learning, a local Trust of six schools.  As the admissions authority, the Trust Board has adopted the Local Authority’s admissions arrangements, which means that all applications must be submitted via the borough’s process.  If you live in Newham, you apply via LB Newham Pupil Services.  If you live outside Newham and you want your child to attend this school, you need to apply via your home borough naming this school as a preference on your application.
