Taking A-Levels at London Sixth Forms
In England, Wales, Northern Ireland and some Common Wealth countries a Sixth Form refers to the last 1-3 years of schooling. Therefore this is usually between the ages of 16 and 18. A Sixth Form education is to prepare for A-level exams, at the end of Year 13.
The word comes from an earlier system of schooling in England as well as Wales. The first 5 years of secondary schooling were subsequently divided into forms. You would move up a form every year until the fifth form. If you stayed on at school to prepare for A-levels you would then go onto the sixth form. This system was changed from the 1990-1991 academic year. School years are now chronologically numbered. Schooling starts with Reception (year turning 4) with Year 1 (year turning 5) following.
For most schools Sixth Form, therefore, consists of Year 12 (Lower Sixth) and Year 13 (Upper Sixth).
Although most English Private Secondary schools have a Sixth Form as part of the school, these can also be independent.
Background Info to Sixth Forms
Although Sixth Form is not compulsory in England, children of that age need to still be in formal education. There are therefore a few choices after writing GCSE’s at the end of Year 11:
- Attend Sixth Form in preparation of University/Academic qualification
- T-Levels
- Vocational training
- Advanced Apprenticeship
