Sixth Form

Sixth Form refers to the final two years of secondary education in the UK, typically involving students aged 16 to 18. During this period, students prepare for higher education or employment by studying advanced courses called A-levels or equivalent qualifications. It follows their completion of compulsory schooling at age 16 and allows for specialized subject choice to deepen knowledge in areas of interest. Sixth Form can be located in secondary schools or specialized colleges, providing a focused academic environment to support students' transition to university, apprenticeships, or careers.
