Lister Community School is situated in Plaistow, east London, and is a specialist school in Music and Science. We are a mixed comprehensive secondary school and welcome both students and staff from a diverse multicultural background. With almost 1,500 students, we are a larger than average school in the London Borough of Newham. The school benefits from being located in new and purpose built accommodation on a single site with ample outdoor areas and the use of an all-weather sports pitch.
The Headteacher, Mr Kunal Vora, leads a team of senior leaders who are enthusiastic and experienced and, alongside all staff, share a positive and united vision for the school’s future. With a broad curriculum, vertical tutoring and house systems, Lister provides a well rounded and balanced experience for students.
