What are the Best Sixth forms/colleges in Birmingham

I'm similar but the other way around, I looked round camp hill but I don't think I'd like it there, and I applied to five ways but I think it's too far - probably an hour. So I think I'm going to solihull but I'm not sure!

does anyone go to solihull school? What would you say is the worst and best things about it?

Btw just for interest best comprehensive and grammar schools in the country by virtue of number of students going to Oxford or Cambridge:
Queen Elizabeth’s School, Barnet - 22%
Colchester Royal Grammar - 19%
Reading School for boys - 17%
Colyton Grammar School - 15%
Tiffins Girls’ School, London - 15%

King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys had 15.8% of their students going to Oxbridge, just for reference

Must be left off the list by the Sutton Trust and the Financial Times accidently see here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/01623928-a8ce-11e0-b877-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2OxrdPMOL

Am an alumni of that school. Best thing are the facilites are good alot of new building built in the last decade. Have you thought of KEHS for girls in edgbaston if your thinking of private schools around Birmingham/West Midlands?

Definitely looks good! It appears that the opening has been put forward a year to September 2015. It's a shame however that it's come too late for me haha I'll be in Year 13 in September, perhaps something to consider for my siblings though!

Lucky you! Well they said something about them wanting somewhat high GCSE grades for entry. I think a combination of A*s, As and Bs would be what they want!

I need a urgent reply please!!

I talked to my teachers about the choices I had for sixth form/colleges
sixth form: Handsworth Grammar
College: JCC

The teachers all want me to go Handsworth but the students I have talked to and even some who have gone to better colleges all say to choose JCC??

I am really confused. Someone help :frown:

Very few white people there. Mostly time-wasters who are too slow. I am wanting to move to KEAston, after I do my AS.

I've currently applied for both JCC & Solihull Sixth Form, with my interview for SSF on the 14th of this month.

Where do you guys recommend I'd rather go?
Or are Halesowen or Cadbury better options?

That's true. But there are some really good teachers there. Obviously it can't really be compared to KEAston. They have really high expectations. The ofsted report for JCC is quite good. Its only taking the bus there, that puts me off from applying there. I hate buses :s-smilie:
