Maybe it is a US to UK translation thing? Class means the people in your 'year' back home as opposed those that actually sit in the classroom with you? So, there were 250 people my age in my school. Which isn't tiny but not huge either for a high school. Maybe you went to a small school?
I am not sure I have heard that story, now. We had one not too long ago off of the tower blocks in our town.
