Harris Academy Rainham
Harris Academy Rainham (formerly ''The Chafford School'') is a mixed secondary school with academy status located in the London Borough of Havering in Rainham, London, England. History In a 2009 Ofsted report, Chafford School was described as a good and improving school and many areas of its work were judged to be outstanding. As a result, it was oversubscribed on an annual basis and Ofsted noted that its popularity was growing. However, a subsequent Ofsted inspection in June 2015 determined that the school required improvement in all areas. Following several years of declining results and an adverse Ofsted inspection it was announced at the beginning of 2016 that The Chafford School would join The Harris Federation of Schools in September 2016. In 2019, Ofsted ranked all areas of the school as good. Ofsted reported that 'leaders have a good understanding of the school's strengths and continually seek to improve the areas that need development." Headteachers The current ...
