Earlier History
Established nearly 100 years ago, the school was originally an Edwardian school serving the educational needs of children in the area.
Erected in 1906 at a cost of £4500, Rainham Council School was designed to accommodate 250 pupils. It was very soon enlarged to 400 and with the large assembly hall and well ventilated classrooms, was considered to be a "perfect type of a modern scholastic establishment.”
