What People are Saying

"Over four years, I progressed from tutor to Deputy Head of English, supported by a school that consistently recognised by potential. Through high-quality CPD, mentoring and leadership opportunities, I was empowered to grow, lead confidently and develop professionally'"

Abbey Bryant - Deputy Head of English

"Harris Academy Rainham has a very special place in my heart. It is a place where I have grown as a professional and am allowed to be a human. Home from home - I have laughed and cried many times here and hope to do so many more. We achieve wonderful things academically here with our students to allow them to go off and have successful lives. That much is a given. But the thing that makes me return every day is the emotional sincerity, passion, and the spirit of the place that fills these walls with love and really makes us feel like we belong to something extraordinary."

Nicky Solomou - Head of English
