Late Start From Tamworth …. Not An Issue

On my first day at Shore School I was greeted with welcoming staff and students. My preconception was that the students and boys would be more intimidating and academically orientated, I was half right. The students and teachers are academically orientated, however they were also all so open and friendly, a very welcome surprise. I would’ve expected less assistance in tasks, but the staff and boys were always there to help no matter the difficulty of the task and go the extra mile. Mr Junee even lent me his own tennis racket.

Things were confusing in the first week, but I was able to adapt to it in no time, the help I got was primarily what solved the issue. I also felt slightly overwhelmed by the new workload I was put with, Shore had a highly comprehensive curriculum which consisted of information I was not accustomed to, particularly with my electives, but the teachers were able to run me through the subjects and help me catch up. I also found the tutors to be quite helpful, they enhanced my study sessions and got me to catch up with the other students. The first few weeks of Shore were quite welcoming and although the fourth week was stressful due to exams, I think I will manage just fine.
