This experience sparked many interesting conversations throughout the day, particularly about the abstract ideas behind some of the works. I am excited to see how this exposure will influence the students' personal investigations and the creative work they produce.

SEN & Disabilities

SEN & Disabilities

Meet the SENCO 

Ms Giles has been the SENCo at HRSF since September 2024. She is hugely motivated by supporting SEND students and has a deep belief in the importance of inclusive education. She is usually found in the SEND office on the ground floor.

Ms Giles can be contacted by email at E.Giles@HarrisRainhamSixthForm.org.uk

Our Offer

We believe that all children, including those identified as having special educational needs and disabilities have a common entitlement to a broad and balanced academic and social curriculum, which is accessible to them, and to be fully included in all aspects of school life.

Harris Rainham Sixth Form aims to provide every student with the opportunity to develop and achieve their potential. The Sixth Form welcomes students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and in addition, other support needs including: students whose first language is not English, students with medical conditions, mental health needs and Looked After Children (LAC). At HRSF we pride ourselves on promoting inclusion and a sense of belonging, and on removing barriers to learning to enable young people to develop into successful adults.

For more information contact Ms Giles, SENCo, directly at E.Giles@HarrisRainhamSixthForm.org.uk

Supporting the identification of SEND 

For the majority of students joining the sixth form, SEND will have already been identified during their secondary schooling. If this is the case, they should identify this on their application form and bring evidence of this with them on enrolment day and notify Ms Giles, SENCo, as soon as possible.

If you feel your child has barriers to learning which have not yet been properly identified, then please get in touch with Ms Giles, SENCo, directly.
