Henrietta Barnet or Woodford County

I've applied for both Henrietta Barnet and Woodford Country Sixth forms, but I don't know which one to go to. I want to know more about them, I've checked the websites and league tables, but I'm still not sure. So anyone's who's been to these sixth forms or is going, can you tell me more about them, like what it is like, what's the teaching like, and just advice on which one I should go to?

well woodford says you need average of all Bs whilst henrietta says they want 6 As. all the means is that the minimum grades you need are those to apply. schools that are really selective (ie henrietta) usually rank you on your a*s and sometimes distance from the school if they have a catchment area. some schools dont offer a place until results day so you can ring up and be like "hey i got x amount of a*s and x amount of as can i get a place" if you got rejected before.
hope that makes more sense :tongue: if your predicted grades are amazing then i wouldnt bother with woodford :smile:

I'm in Year 11 Woodford. Its absolutely **** I've always hated it. I think the girls are rude and just want to do well themselves without giving a **** for anyone else. I'm moving Sixth Form, and our year is ok, but it depends who you become mates with. Building is ugly inside, fungus growing in class and in year 8 our room had a ladybug infestation. Only some good teachers. Most are **** and probably on **** pay thats why. They dont rlly give a **** about you
Maybe go with the league tables- is there a big difference in performance ?
I'm year 13 Henrietta also moved here for sixth form fire away any questions you have :smile:

GCSE: 10 A*'s 3A's
AS: 4A's ( bio, chem, maths and french)

I moved from mill hill county a mixed school to HBS.
In terms of social life i don't think its that great, some girls are quite cliquey and won't be that open to befriending new girls. In terms of teaching, also quite meh the girls just teach themselves pretty much. In terms of prep for uni i think its really good and for that reason i'm happy i moved.

Mill Hill was selective but it accepted people in the catchment and siblings as well, but i got in through the test. No it didn't have any impact on me getting in, they just want A*s i think.
