 What
Is BRGS?
Bacon, Raddish, Grape Sandwich?
Brilliant, Reliable, Gleeful Squirrel?
No!
It's Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School. We
are in Waterfoot and about 1260 Students come here from Rossendale
and surrounding towns.
 How Do I Get In?
The school holds an entrance exam each year in September to select
its pupils. There is more information about the exam in the blue
booklet.
 Will
I Be With My Friends?
If you pass the exam and you are selected, you will be visited
in your Primary School, so we can meet you, find out about your
interests and put you in a class with your friends and others
who share similar interests with you.
 Why
Should I Go There?
Apart from being a BRILLIANT school with loads to do, exciting
things to learn and a friendly atmosphere - you'll be assured
of a good education, which is very important.

 How
Do I get To School?
Buses from Constable Lee, Crawshawbooth, Burnley and Rochdale all
drop me and my friends off almost at the door.
Bacup, Rawtenstall and Accrington buses all stop at the end of
the street.
 What
Happens At Lunch Time?
(P.S. I don't like Rice
Pudding!)
Don't worry, it's not my favourite either... but you can choose from six main
courses at the hot food counter; try the salad bar or the snack bar. You'll be
with your friends so you decide.
You can even get to school early and have toast or have bacon sandwiches for
Breakfast.

What Happens If I Get Lost?
It's easy... there are lots of people whose job it is to look
after you.
Your Form Teacher and the Welfare Ladies at lunch time.

They are great friends!

are settled and happy.

will all help you with any problems.
