Student Code Of Conduct

The general code of conduct for students has been revised, as it is annually. The new

version is on Woodle under Information and on the website here.

Local Area / Police

We have had reports from police that there are some altercations taking place on the

street between pupils of some of the local schools. It goes without saying that we expect

Woodhouse students to have nothing to do with this and to stay away from any scenes

of potential conflict.

September. We will provide you will all the information you need and help with any

Online Personal Statement Workshops

I have made a short video here, and the accompanying presentation is on the Google

Classroom under Classwork/Resources. Every year we have students who decide they are

not interested in Oxbridge, and then change their mind a year later and make a last-minute

application, unprepared and ill-informed. Don’t be one of them!

Please download and use the Caterlink app for great deals and discounts. It also really helps if you

could top up your college cards rather than using a debit card as the payment is much faster, and

helps the canteen at busier times.

Dishes on the menu are subject to change depending on deliveries.
