RMGS has successfully gained the IQM flagship status for two consecutive years.

At Key Stage 3, the National Curriculum is enhanced and broadened to provide enriched learning experiences tailored to individual student capabilities. The GCSE selection process begins in Year 9, while the Sixth Form offers an extensive array of approximately 25 subjects, supported by comprehensive career guidance to facilitate optimal progression pathways. The educational experience extends beyond traditional academic boundaries through a rich programme of enrichment activities designed to develop students’ capabilities and broaden their understanding of contemporary society. A strong emphasis is placed on cross-curricular integration, educational excursions, international exchange programmes and the cultivation of meaningful partnerships with both local and broader communities, including collaborative relationships with fellow schools within the Rainham Mark Educational Trust. The curriculum provides a framework that emphasises meaningful cross-curricular connections, particularly within the humanities disciplines, while addressing the complex needs of academically capable students who may require additional support in executive functioning or other areas. This comprehensive approach enables educators to identify and systematically address potential barriers to achievement, ensuring that all students can access the curriculum effectively.

 

The Prince's Teaching Institute Mark

Rainham Mark Grammar School is pleased to receive The Prince’s Teaching Institute Mark in Art, Music, History and Languages.

The Prince’s Teaching Institute (PTI) launched the Schools Programme in 2007 to recognise and reward school departments that develop inspirational ideas and activities which enhance the teaching of English, History, Geography, Science, Modern Foreign Languages and Mathematics, regardless of their pupils’ backgrounds or abilities. It is run as a membership group for school departments that choose to commit to increasing the challenge of their subject provision.

Rainham Mark Grammar School has been awarded The Prince’s Teaching Institute (PTI) Schools Leadership Mark.

The aim of the PTI Schools Leadership Programme is to encourage schools to consider whole-school approaches to leadership, staffing and the curriculum that  help to develop the quality, rigour and challenge experienced by pupils of all abilities and backgrounds.  Each school undertakes an action-based research project that will be of benefit to all participating schools.

This programme has grown out of the PTI’s annual Headteachers’ residential conferences, started in 2008, which offer participants the chance to reflect on the purposes of education and all aspects of school leadership. At the 2011 conference, the Headteachers unanimously requested that the PTI create a forum to provide networks and inspiration to support whole-school subject-centred leadership.
