What are the Best Sixth forms/colleges in Birmingham

It's not that bad, but if you are an able student, people will slow you down. I should have went to a grammar, but oh well. Good luck!

so, if you don't mind me asking, where do you go atm? Need ideas.

JCC lol. I know this from personal experience. I made a stupid choice apply here. Ask me anything

Oh right..that's why you downgrade JCC? So are you from the 'very few white people'? I heard lots of somalians go there..if i'm correct. what subjects you taking?

I go to Solihull Sixth Form and would reccomend it. You don't need to go to a grammar or private school to get excellent grades if you work hard. I found that there's a lot of diversity... Whilst there are BTEC courses and students who want to go to work as soon as they leave, there are also students who go on to Oxbridge and Russel Group Universities.

Whilst Camp Hill is an excellent academic facility; people I know who have gone have left because they didn't like the atmosphere.

What about King Edward VI College? It's in Stourbridge so not sure if that's too far for you...

I look forward to going there next year, if I am allowed to transfer. But if I do get good grades, I may stay lol. How do you think the teaching is there?

All of my teachers are great. Haven't had any problems with them at all, they're really helpful and have time for you if you ask. I had an amazing teacher for AS Philosophy, absolutely inspirational; he's the reason I want to study it at University. But unfortunately, he left. I'm taught by the head of Humanities for History and he's also an amazing teacher, although busy a lot of the time, it can be quite hard to catch him to talk about coursework and what not but he tries his best. I have a good relationship with my English teacher, she's helped me with my University applications since the beginning.

I can only tell you about the departments I'm involved in.

To be honest with I have some amazing teacher also, but it's one mediocre teacher that I don't want to name, that lets me down. They go to slow and the actual attitude of the college is like IDGAF. I want to go to somewhere where I can compete with the best to get better and get given the opportunities that I miss because of lazy people who don't revise or learn anything at home.

If you do come to TSSFC, make sure they know that. I think they kind of brushed me aside for a while until I told my teachers what I wanted to do, what I needed to achieve, where I wanted to study... Then they gave me much more attention.

But if you want to apply to Oxbridge they give you lots of support from the start of your first year. They like having poster boys/girls.

Nope, I am asain, but I am still quite white. Anyway, what I meant is that you won't get a mix of different people.
I am doing Chem,Bio,Psychology,History

Whatever that means.. Yah, makes sense. I go to a school which is 100% Asian. My primary and secondary school, both full of asians. If i went to a sixth form, with more white people, I think it would be weird. Right, im planning to do Bio too, is the teaching there good?

Which grammar is that? I thought all grammar schools were free? If you getting the grades you can have go applying to King Edwards in Edgbaston (KES) or Solihull School both good private schools, they have scholarships for exceptional students like yourself. As fir good state schools try St Peters in Solihull for their sixth firm. I'm a Solihull school alumni but will admit King Edwards in
edgbaston is better and you get to do the International Baccalaureate (IB) if you prefer that to A Levels. Apparently International Baccalaurate is more respected by top unis abd top courses, maybe the extended essay helps not sure. Anyways have to get down to the Villa match I'll check this thread later, if you have any questions (this is to the op or anyone else to) feel free to ask.

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%

Compare this to the equivalent Private schools using the same metric of numbers of students going to Oxford and Cambridge:
St Paul’s Girls’ School, London - 46%
Westminster School, London - 44%
Stephen Perse, Cambridge - 36%
St Paul’s School, London - 36%
North London Collegiate - 33%

A family friend went to Oxford from Reading School for Boys he is now a Management Cosultant.

Once when I was in Solihull School my business studies teacher told our class that when he went to St Paul's school in London (which is on the list above) he saw the schoolchildren actually open their books and start studying when waiting for their teacher to arrive. He stated this never happened at my school (even though it was a good school in the Midlands) and that was why St Paul's School in London was just a better school than ours.

could you please recommend some state sixth form colleges in birmingham? because I am coming from another country and I have no idea about it

Hi I'm not from UK but I'm applying to colleges in Birmingham I was just wondering if MPW Birmingham was a good college ? Or if JCC is good ?
