SIR: I wish to nominate a group of people for Rats of the Week, or even Rats of the Century. The people are the mindless people who cause expensive criminal damage to an establishment which is already short of money. They are the people who target the largest most expensive windows in Rivington and Blackrod High School. Some of these windows cost £125 to replace. In an average week we expect to see five/six of these windows broken as well as a high number of the smaller windows. And these people (we have a good idea who they are) then have the audacity to complain about the school's lack of resources. This minority of people is solely responsible for the downfall in the local community. Surely the school parents, pupils and teachers could mount a watch with a camera and catch this small number of mindless vandals.

Please parents, pupils and school staff help or don't YOU care about your child's education/your education or the service you provide.

A concerned pupil RBHS.
