Course
Too many bullies.
Alots of beggers in the halls when i try to get to my lessons.
you would be better off sending your kids to a prison camp
teachers are useless and couldn't care less to help anyone especially when it comes to understands students with special needs, bullying and harassment of students is just allowed from other students and teachers and the actual school itself is a dump that needs to be knocked down
gcse
there's no excuse
I was there for 5 years, I came out traumatised due to students who thought it was ok to assault and rape people and staff who didn't do their jobs and were afraid of the paperwork so let issues slide even if it was a suicide risk, self harm risk or even when I cried for them to help me when I was getting raped and tortured by a sick member of the rainford high "community", I came out of that school with self harm scars on my arms, legs, neck, face, stomach and ankles, I also came out with burns from a cigarette that was used on me by someone else on my chest, I have about 22 burns in total. this is a sick place and no loving parent should ever send their child there!! also if you were in the lower grade groups, they gave up on you, I don't think I had a steady science teacher ever while at rainford, I spent most my time in a place called the base, where I taught myself the curriculum faster than they could in lessons and I understood it, I even moved onto the higher grade material which I didn't even need for my gcses
can't remember her name but terrible school
that red haired teacher that had a form room on the technology floor was a right bitch that needs sacking if she's still there, couldn't care less about anyone if she tried and outs kids with problems in front of everyone. despicable

A mix of feelings
Not amazing but definitely good, considering the situation with COVID-19. The mental health help is not exactly great but it works.
Terrible school
Terrible school, filthy everywhere, bathrooms are gross. Teachers are horrible and rude
Rlly bad
It’s very messy and high rates of corona and I think it should be shut down as there is a very high risk of infection and teachers are very careless
Reviewer
The worst school ever would not recommend to go
