Strengths
- “Pupils are encouraged and supported to widen their horizons and to aim high at Harris Academy Rainham.”
- “They achieve well in a wide range of subjects and, as a result, they are well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training.”
- “Staff have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and foster a sense of belonging and pride in the school.”
To improve
- “However, these pupils do not consistently receive the support they need to achieve as well as they could.”
- “This is stronger in some subjects than in others.”
- “There are instances when teaching does not check and help pupils to overcome misconceptions and, subsequently, improve the content and depth of their work.”
