Many students choose a Sixth Form College because of the large range of courses and combinations available compared to their current school. Sixth Form Colleges have greater academic flexibility with their timetables and subjects offered, so virtually any combination of study programme is possible.
A Sixth Form College is also a great stepping-stone for university. You are encouraged and supported to become a more independent student managing your own time and study programme effectively. These are essential skills for Higher Education and university.
One big reason many students move to Sixth Form College is for a fresh start; to make new friends and broaden their experience socially.
Other students choose a Sixth Form College as they are looking for a more mature and diverse learning environment (and not have year 7s running in the corridor!).
