Leicester Sixth Forms: WQE, Beauchamp or Gateway?

I’m trying to decide what the best college for me is, but I’m unsure.

If any of you go to the following schools:

- Beauchamp College (not BCSF, Beauchamp City Sixth Form)

- WQE (or QE as it’s more commonly called)

- Gateway Sixth Form

Please give your experiences on the following:

- What is the teaching like? – Do the teachers make sure they have explained everything fully and you understand before moving on?

- Is there a lot of pressure to study? Do people often get behind on work?

- What is social life like? – Is it easy to make friends? Is the food good? 😅

- Anything else you think would be helpful. 🤗

I have also seen quite worrying reviews of Beauchamp and WQE on Google Reviews. 😰 Are they true?

Thanks,

May I just ask which subjects are you planning to do?

Graphics, Computer Science, and Psychology or Criminology (either one of these)

Since, your subjects are not highly academic like further maths and physics, I think QE should be a good choice for you as you get lots of frees and you can make friends in the food court or library anywhere.

It's just quite big so lots and lots of ppl to meet! So your social life will be ok and it just depends whether you are able to make friends or not but you should be fine.

There's not really a lot of pressure to study and the teachers are very good as well. You'll definitely enjoy the teachers.

Unless you do highly academic subjects and want to get 3A*, QE should be fine choice.

Let me know where are you planning to go.

I have been in QE and did maths, business and accounting. Liked it there!

Thanks! I think I'm leaning more towards QE now, wish me luck in applications in November!!
