Welcome to Rainham School for Girls
Rainham School for Girls represents a culture of high aspiration, high expectation and success. Our aim is to provide an outstanding learning experience for all students within a safe, disciplined and caring environment.
Celebrating Culture and Collaboration! 🇯🇲👯♀️ Our Dance Department is currently buzzing with our Global Dance Topic, and this week was truly special. We believe there is no better way to learn about the world than through the people who know it best—our students! A massive well done to Amirah in Year 8, who stepped up to lead her peers in a Jamaican dance workshop. Amirah worked closely with her teacher to develop a specialised toolkit of moves, ensuring that her heritage and style are shared across the entire Year 8 cohort. We are so proud to see our students taking ownership of their culture and providing such valuable resources for their classmates. Leadership and creativity at its finest! 👏 #SchoolCommunity #GlobalDance #StudentVoice #Jamaica #DanceWorkshop CurriculumCreators

Huge shout-out to Kirsten (Yr11) and Isabella (Yr12) 👏🔬 These two have been doing an amazing job running a Science revision club to support their peers with mock exams. They’ve worked closely with staff to identify key focus areas. By sharing their own knowledge and expertise, Kirsten and Isabella are not only helping others succeed but also building confidence across the group. A brilliant example of leadership, teamwork and dedication — well done both! 🌟 #StudentLeadership #ScienceRevision #SupportingEachOther #WellDone

As part of our careers programme, we follow the Gatsby Benchmark criteria, recognised as the Gold Standard in careers education. Benchmark 2 – Provider Engagement focuses on giving students opportunities to listen to and speak with a wide range of employers and employees from different organisations. Last week, we were delighted to welcome Jacksons Construction, who delivered an engaging workshop for our Year 7 students. Students learned about careers within the construction industry and took part in fun, hands-on activities that explored some of the key skills needed for these roles. A great experience helping students begin to understand the world of work and the many pathways available to them!
