The Rainham PE Department is absolutely thrilled to announce that Sofia has been selected for the Kent Netball squad for the 2026–2027 season! Sofia showed incredible resilience, successfully making it through multiple intense selection rounds. When given the opportunity to shine during the high-pressure final stages, she seized it with both hands and proved she belongs among the best in the county. The PE staff have noticed firsthand just how hard Sofia has been working to elevate her game. Her commitment to improvement is unmatched. As a school community, we are incredibly proud of Sofia. Watching her talent and determination rewarded at a county level is fantastic, and we cannot wait to see her thrive this season! — The Rainham PE Department

Year 13 Aspire Trip to the University of Greenwich🌟 Our Year 13 students enjoyed an inspiring and informative day at the University of Greenwich, exploring the exciting opportunities available after sixth form. Students took part in dedicated sessions covering a range of future pathways, including UCAS applications, Oxbridge, apprenticeships, careers guidance, and making informed choices about their next steps. They also had the opportunity to hear from academics and industry professionals across a wide variety of subject areas, including Law, Social Sciences, Marketing, Engineering, Medicine, Business, Politics, Media & Communications, and Education. The day was a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their aspirations, ask questions, and gain first-hand knowledge to help shape their futures.

Last week Mrs Andrews and Ms Scowen took students from Year 13 studying law, psychology and criminology to the University of Kent where they had the opportunity to experience a university conference. The Under Investigation Conference provided a unique opportunity for students to investigate crime, engage with academic content and explore the University of Kent Canterbury Campus. The experience helped students engage in their academic field and enrich their learning to help prepare them for their next steps. They asked thoughtful questions of the speakers and served as outstanding ambassadors for the school.

The following students were outstanding in their support of Fairview Primary School’s Sports Day. They demonstrated excellent leadership skills by clearly explaining and demonstrating activities, while providing fantastic support and encouragement to the pupils throughout the event. They were exceptional role models, represented the school brilliantly, and were a real credit to our school community.

Last week, students in the Gardening/ECO Club celebrated a successful harvest of the onions and radishes they have carefully grown in the school garden. These have been given to our canteen where these will be used for our school community. Their commitment and enthusiasm have been inspiring, and we are extremely proud of the knowledge, skills, and appreciation for nature they have developed along the way. #collaboration #workinghard #harvestwhatwegrow #learninghowtofeedourselves growingforourschoolcommunity

Massive well done to everyone involved for representing us so brilliantly!

The latest Rainham sixth university visit saw a group of students visit the University of Hull, where they took part in some taster sessions and got to see a crime scene room, a mock court room and have a coach tour of the city. It was great to see students engaging with academic discussions, receive input with their personal statements, and visit a university and city that they may not have considered. Thank you to Ruth Walton and the team at Hull for an amazing day.
