1) What subjects do you want to study at A levels?

2) Is Woodhouse your first option, if not what other sixth forms are you considering?

Feel free to answer with any other questions and hopefully current woodhouse students will see this and help if we have any questions! This is for Woodhouse college based in

I have some questions.
1) do you recommend woodhouse
2) is there good teaching
3) when people say independence does that mean lots of home learning and revision
4) people say it’s free but isn’t it boring or annoying having free periods with nothing to do or having to travel to school the same day Because you had a lesson later
5) Are the students diverse like roughly what percentage of each race
6) how many people in each year group
7) are a lot of people typical rich posh white drinking clubbers
8) how much interactions do you get to have with friends if you have different timetables and periods
9)would you chose it over somewhere like Lae
Sorry for all the questions

I applied to start woodhouse in 2022 sept, It’s not my personal first choice but I would still like to get into the school.
I applied to study Chem maths Politics and biology, however I am not too keen on biology and will see how it goes as I still want to keep the door open to study medicine.
I have done my mocks and gotten results back for some of them with 2 nines 2 eights and 2 sevens so far.
Tbh I’m really anxious to get responses from sixth forms and hopefully I get accepted into all of them ( I applied to 12 sixth forms so far)

That’s a lot of sixth formss

My school doesn’t give predicted grades, and we can only use mock grades, I am happy with all my mock grades except English literature, I usually work towards grade 8 or 9 but in this mock I got a 6!!!!! I am planning to study English lit at A levels and 6 is the minimum required grade, do you know if somebody got in with a 6? My other mock grades are 7s, 8s and 9s.

You applied to 12! That is way over the top. With your grades you will almost certainly get into woodhouse and pretty much every other place you've applied to. You will want to start whittling it down to 3 or 4 in my opinion. As long as they have a reasonable reputation/vibe etc, I would go with the ones that are nearest, at there is really is no point spending ages travelling for no tangible gain.

ah I want to do medicine too, I wld still keep biology because its definitely different compared to GCSE, I don't do it yet, however, I talked to a bunch of biology students and they all said that GCSE bio is mostly just learning facts and A-level is more theoretical and about understanding concepts etc.. definitely more interesting than GCSE lmaoo

i’m currently a student a woodhouse so i shall answer ur questions lol
1) do you recommend woodhouse
it’s pretty decent tbh. i like the freedoms and absence of dress code. don’t go in with the expectation that it’s the best school in the world because it’s definitely got its flaws. but generally it’s a nice place.
2) is there good teaching
the teaching usually varies from subject to subject/teacher to teacher. honestly some teachers blitz through topics as if you already know everything which can be annoying. however there are some really good teachers here
3) when people say independence does that mean lots of home learning and revision
there definitely is an emphasis on home learning and revision but it’s up to you if you wanna take the advice. most teachers don’t usually chase after students for homework because it’s our responsibility and stuff but it’s definitely important
4) people say it’s free but isn’t it boring or annoying having free periods with nothing to do or having to travel to school the same day Because you had a lesson later
it’s not boring at all! time flies very quickly during frees and you can leave the school anytime during free periods of you want. there also sports that the run during some frees and lunch
5) Are the students diverse like roughly what percentage of each race
majority white, second highest south/east asian and smallest group black from what i can see
6) how many people in each year group
currently around 500 people in my yr13 year group. quite alot
7) are a lot of people typical rich posh white drinking clubbers
perhaps not gonna lie but some of them are calm if you actually interact with them lol. however there are a variety of different types of people (lots of stereotypically nerdy people and alternative people lmaoo). i know lots of people from the same average background as me, there are many people to get along with.
8) how much interactions do you get to have with friends if you have different timetables and periods
i see friends pretty much always during frees there’s also a 20 min break for the whole school few hours before lunch. the only differences we have is usually what time we finish school (sometimes finish at lunch, sometimes 15:15, sometimes 16:20)
9)would you chose it over somewhere like Lae
i would only choose lae if i lived close to lae and preferred the vibe, every place has their pros and cons
if u have any more questions feel free to ask
