History

In September 1999 students, and most staff, from woodside Community School, of Plaistow, E13 8RX, were relocated to The Royal docks Community School.

The students from Woodside run a competition to name the new school and design the logo which was won by a student named Joey.

The school was seen to be state of the art at the time with nearly every classroom having digital interactive whiteboards, PCs with internet connections and Wi-Fi across the building - enabling teachers to use registers that would update attendance records immediately. This was at a time when other schools in the borough were still trialing a small number of interactive whiteboards.

The sports hall / gym on the first floor had sprung floorboards. It had lifts and a spiral ramp instead of stairs.

On 1 January 2018 the school was relaunched as Royal Docks Academy, part of the BMAT multi academy trust.[2]

gollark: > the janitorial department wouldn't be under my managementSee, this is what I mean. Spirit's insults are just *better* than yours.
gollark: Probably not very publicly because it's probably illegal and you can't really get around that.
gollark: It's entirely possible that there are already copies of all the textbooks you're talking about floating around on the internet.
gollark: It's not consensus and any half life below some ridiculously huge amount of time has been ruled out.
