You will want the school to provide your child with opportunities to develop socially and academically in an environment that is challenging, caring, and supportive. Raine’s Foundation school can offer these opportunities. Raine offers something different. We are a smaller than average secondary school. This means pupils are recognized as individuals which enables support to be tailored to their needs. Raine’s Foundation Church of England Secondary School is an all-ability co-educational school for girls and boys aged 11-19. The School is rightly proud of its long tradition of achievement within a Christian ethos and welcomes pupils from all faiths and those with none. We are a local school for local children. We have recently changed our admissions policy and we welcome all members of our community and no supplementary form is now required. Raine’s Foundation School is one of the oldest schools in London and has played an important role in the East End for nearly 300 years. Developing a sense of community is pivotal to the school's ethos, as we move further into the 21st century we are developing our community spirit to ensure Raine’s Foundation School is a school for local children, just as it was when the school was established in 1719. We are an improving school as we strive towards our goal of ‘Achieving Excellence by Unlocking Potential’ Exam results, in all areas, are improving and we expect further improvements in 2018. Our aim at Raine’s is to ensure that all our pupils can be the best they can be, every day, ensuring they achieve their potential in all aspects of life. Today Raine's is a thriving multi-cultural school, which still adheres to traditional values of hard work, good conduct, loyalty, and high standards of dress and appearance. The school encourages both staff and students to challenge their own personal best in all areas of endeavor: academically, socially, and spiritually. To help us achieve this the school is committed to an extensive range of activities beyond the formal curriculum, which enable our students to grow and develop in many ways. At Raine’s Foundation Church Of England School, we welcome everybody into our community. We believe every child should be provided with the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. Every student at Raine’s Foundation has the opportunity to follow all National Curriculum subjects as well as following an appropriate curriculum pathway. We are committed to narrowing the attainment gap between SEND and non-SEND students. Achieving Excellence by Unlocking Potential At Raine’s Foundation School we believe in: Providing a caring school community based on morals and values that safeguard the welfare of all. Providing high-quality teaching and learning to enable all children to maximize their potential. Creating a stimulating, rich, and engaging curriculum tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Creating a successful partnership with parents, carers, and the local community. Encouraging students to participate in decision-making enabling them to become responsible, compassionate, and empathetic. Supporting student's personal development through their journey to higher education and employment. Enrichment is a fundamental element in terms of learning and teaching at Raine’s Foundation School. Importantly, it also forms the foundation of student experience beyond the classroom. We recognize the importance of offering a meaningful, exciting, and innovative enrichment program which both motivates and promotes independence and resilience in our young people. We believe our enrichment opportunities allow our students to appreciate and respect other people both on a local and global level.
