Harris Academy Rainham
Harris Academy Rainham (formerly ''The Chafford School'') is a mixed secondary school with academy status located in the London Borough of Havering in Rainham, London, England. History In a 2009 Ofsted report, Chafford School was described as a good and improving school and many areas of its work were judged to be outstanding.
