Raine's Foundation School has been in existance since 1719 and today is a highly successful inner city voluntary-aided comprehensive school. Raine's attaches great importance to high academic achievement through the traditional values of hard work, discipline, good conduct and loyalty. We are also proud of our many activities outside curriculum time, especially within the local community. We also have an excellent reputation for music and drama and our sports teams are very successful.
