Joe, Year 10

“The school inspires me in many different ways. I do drama outside of school, so I picked GCSE drama, and it has really boosted my confidence and given me the support that I think I really need. It has helped shape me into not just as a better actor, but into a better human being. 

My teachers are approachable and if I have a problem, I can always email them. Or if it's in class, I can raise my hand and they will help me. My teachers are very supportive, so say if I'm stuck on a question, they'll give me support. Even if I don't understand something in the lesson, I can go and talk to them at the end of the day and they will give me an extra session to really nail a specific topic.

If it wasn't for the school, I wouldn't have developed into the person I am now and I wouldn't have made all these friends that I've made along the way from year 7 to 10. I feel like this school has helped shape me into something that I want to be, and something that I want to be in the future.

I've definitely had a positive experience from coming into this school. I'm very glad that I joined Harris Academy Rainham.”
