Harris Academy Rainham is proud to have been awarded this month the Judicium Safety Award for health and safety.

The award is made by Judicium Education, the Harris Federation’s health and safety consultants who audit all of the Federation’s academies.  

Judicium said that Harris Academy Rainham is well managed with suitable systems in place to ensure that the academy is a safe working environment for both students and staff.

“The overall health and safety culture within the academy is very productive, proactive and one which is always open to additional measures which will serve to enhance the overall health and safety compliance,” said inspectors. “This should be commended as compliance with the award follows strict health and safety management criteria.”
