I actually dont no what there on about, they never even told me as i recall............ there good pads, remember to use them separately for different subjects makes things easier... also the Oxford notepads are very good.

Oh yh once you are there run to the sports building, you should find lockers there that only need £1 and you get it back later :smile:
I was gonna sell 2 of my mine and i didnt even use it lol or sell them........


We have lockers.
I swear you have to pay £30 for your own locker and you get some back.
How comes you didn't tell me this.
You know how disorganised I was...
I lost pretty much all my notes, you couldn't even give me advice.

Chemistry
Physics
Economics
Further Maths

I'll probably drop economics this year to do extra maths modules.
By the way Unis only care about 3 a-levels doing any more doesn't give you any advantage at all.

Ummm.. yeh - it's been a year and I still can't remember the people in my class, but I'm the only person like that. Despite all that I still get a long with most people, you will be fine.

Just don't go to too many weird parties...
Someone's having a house party every week.
Just don't go - some of their house parties are worst than the american ones.
I've not really been I've just heard stories.

I completed my maths a-level in yr 10 and 11.
I'm the only kid there that can do further maths without having to go to attend maths lessons.

Yeh - all the house parties I've been to have been fine, minus the one where we found my friend covered in vomit in the bathroom..

Umm.. I've only been to 3 ever, and all of them have been the same persons and this year. I don't know much about all this. I'm not really hugely social. I've never been to the really weird ones, weird stuff happen. I guess your right.

Just don't screw up your AS year - LITERALLY YOUR WHOLE LIFE DEPENDS ON YOUR MARKS. well - mine did.

Walking into bed with someone... hmm...
Actually depends who you walk into bed with, but that happens - yep. Other stuff like your drunk and do random stupid stuff. Guys at college talk about it, and I have no idea what they're on about. Thank god I'm not there for any of it.

It's more like there's some mansion outside of london and you're walking around in the country side at 3am, or the party gets shut down and you're walking around on the streets confused.

I got an A - I had to teach myself a-level maths.

lol. Why do you guys keep telling us not to screw up our AS year??? Is it because alot of people at Woodhouse mess it up?
Btw, how would you describe woodhouse briefly as a whole-students, staff and atmosphere?

Woodhouse = very relaxed but has a hard working ethic.

Nobody ever takes the advice seriously, and if we scaremonger you're probably going to get panicked and work really harder. Oh and don't drink alcohol and smoke....

it's the worst thing you can do......
Really don't

I don't know to be honest, I've never cared about what anyone else other then myself gets. Ask another sexy guy with super hot stubble.

No-one got Oxford this year, a few got Cambridge though. There was a significant amount at other top unis though.

No, not for this year anyway. On average we get 8 students in Cambridge a year, but that's all I know.

Thanks, but I was really disappointed with my AS results. Guess I aim too high. :biggrin:
I'm quite scared because i don't think i have done well enough to get into my first choice sixth form (6A's) and my current school requires mainly A grades. Also, the results are much higher than woodhouse (A*/A/B at 89.9%) but woodhouse is like 65% o something and so i would do much better at my current school but my parents can't pay 13 000 pounds a year fo my education as i have brothers and sisters in private schools too, but ifi don;t do well in my exams and i go to woodhouse, how will i do as i can't do well in a chillaxed atmosphere, only becuase through my whole education, i've been pushed really had to do well, i'm expected mainly A*'s and As but am trying to prepare for the worst case scenarios. Thanks

Woodhouse is a place where you need a good amount of self motivation to do well. The teachers won't push you like they do at a private school.

Is there dress code? As in are there certain things you're not allowed to wear? Or are you allowed to wear anything?
