Woodhey High School

Woodhey High School is a secondary school in Ramsbottom, in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Woodhey High School was built by Bury LEA (Local Education Authority) in 1979 to replace the Peel Brow Secondary Modern school. The school has recently undergone a refurbishment with a new food technology room. The school encourages independence and group work, as well as maintaining a positive community. It has many facilities such as cooking rooms, D&T (Design and technology) and I.T (Information technology). Of late the school has become overcrowded with more pupils in each year group every year (school has been asked to take more pupils almost finishing taking up extras). Also cuts in school funding has made the school fund raising events vital to the upkeep of the school.
