Welcome to Rainham School for Girls
C.A.R.E and Wellbeing
We pride ourselves on our excellent wraparound care.
“Rainham is a happy school. Pupils speak highly about the relationships with staff. Their health, including their mental health, and welfare and well-being are very well supported by the school. ” (Ofsted, 2022)


📣 Our A-level Law students had an incredible opportunity this week! They spent the day at court, observing real cases in action and gaining valuable insights into the legal process. The highlight of the visit was a special Q&A session with a judge, where students asked thoughtful and challenging questions. It was an inspiring experience that gave them a real taste of what a career in law could look like 👩⚖️⚖️👨⚖️ #FutureLawyers #ALevelLaw #InspiringCareers #CourtVisit

🌍 Busy Term for Geography Fieldwork! 🌊🚶♂️ This term, our Year 11 Geographers have been out and about collecting valuable data for their investigations. 📍 Herne Bay Coastal Study: Students explored the coastline to gather data on beach gradient, pebble size & shape, and coastal management. Working in small groups, they investigated how physical processes impact human activity. Back in class, they’re transforming this data into graphs to test their hypotheses. 📍 Rainham Precinct Urban Study: On another exciting trip, pupils measured environmental quality, land-use, and traffic/pedestrian counts. Their goal? To determine how environmental quality changes from the city centre to the suburbs. Well done to all for your enthusiasm and teamwork! Stay tuned for their findings! #GeographyFieldwork #CoastalInvestigation #UrbanStudy #Year11Geography #LearningOutsideTheClassroom

🎨✨ Our talented Year 8 students have been channelling their inner Monet! They've been exploring impressionist techniques to recreate their own versions of his famous Houses of Parliament series — and even selecting their own inspirational scenes to paint in his distinctive style.
