Look at the new "Oswaldtwistle School" formally Rhyddings annexe on Union road, that is where a lot of the under-achievers finish up, there is an attempt via 1 to 1 teaching to turn things round, a lot of the secondary schools have "specialist units" where under -achievers are placed again in attempt to turn things round, specialist teachers are brought in to teach these kids.That is kids of every colour.
