Also a little info for those who don't know the education system in the uk:High school here is 11-16 years. -__-6th form is for 16-18 year olds and you to have reasonably middle- to excellent GCSE'S (from high school) to even get accepted. They dislike anything lower than for example, grade C in GCSE math. It's full of mostly a-level and AS-level courses.College is 16+ so there are lot of mature students too depending on the course studied, they also have a much more wider range of courses (mostly vocational.) This is where Ryam studies.I had a few friends at 6th form and they always got confused whenever I told them I didnt have to do alevel exams. Because my college coursewas 100 coursework/portfolio based. Which is alot more freedom for those that are not typically academic.Also with college it was amsuing as we sometimes got the mature students mixed up with our teachers but luckily we got to call staff by their first name.
