Waterloo Road Comprehensive School was a secondary school for pupils aged between 11 to 18.

From Series 1 to Series 7, the school was located in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. it was set in the fictional Waterloo Estate. Filming was done in Kirkholt Estate at the former Top Hill School, located at 182 Hill Top Drive, Rochdale. The school once had the highest teenage pregnancy rate of any school in the UK. After production in Rochdale ended in November 2011, the building was no longer needed for filming, and was demolished in 2013, with housing since being built on the site.

From Series 8 to Series 10, the school was located in Greenock, Scotland. In reality the new site was previously occupied by Greenock Academy, however in the show, local rival school Havelock High previously occupied it before their relocation. On 2nd April 2014, BBC announced that Waterloo Road was to end in the next year. Production in Greenock ended in August 2014, and the site was demolished in 2015.
