Hi sorry for the late response. The maths classes are a standard size ranging form 20-24 students. There is a lot of help available for students including weekly sessions to have a one on one with a teacher to help you, so have confidence in yourself. On my first day I knew a few people from my previous school who I didn’t talk to because I never got on along with them, I personally found it very difficult to socialise because a lot of people already knew each other. I made friends with people in my classes instead.

Unfortunately woodhouse is like that, students do smoke at the gate and stuff which I hate about it. The teachers are good, I like the teachers I have for my subjects and the staff are very nice; my personal tutor is the student progress manager and she has been helping me throughout the year as I’ve been under a lot of stress. I don’t think there is that much drama. The year group is so large everyone just stays with their close friends so that vibe from secondary school just goes away.
