Harris Rainham Sixth Form
About Harris Rainham Sixth Form
For parents considering Harris Rainham Sixth Form, the first thing to know is that this is a post-16-only state school in Havering, meaning it is a choice families make after GCSEs rather than a full secondary school. The school currently has 240 pupils against a capacity of 400, which suggests it is not yet oversubscribed and may have places available for students who meet its entry requirements. While the data does not include a Parent View recommendation percentage, the fact that the school is part of the Harris Federation — a well-known multi-academy trust — may offer some reassurance around consistency of standards. The headteacher is Gareth Stananought, and the school is mixed, with no religious character. For families weighing up sixth-form options, the absence of oversubscription could be a practical advantage, particularly for students who need a fresh start or who have not secured a place at a more selective local provider.
