maths and biology will probably have larger classes of around 25 but Spanish may have around 15-20 but it depends on your 6th form.

Just wondering.

My school has a tiny sixth form, I think there is about 40 in the whole year group. Probably because the grade requirements are quite high. But I think it really varies from place to place.

It is similar but different. At a school sixth form, mostly everyone will be around the same age as you. At a college, the age of students can be very different ranging from 18 to 60.

Timetables are also different at a college compared to a school. Schools give you less free time while at a college, you may be in for only half a day.

Colleges also offer more qualifications than a sixth form at a school. At a school sixth form, only A Levels are offered. At a college, professional qualifications are also offered. Some colleges also offer qualifications higher than A Levels like HNDs and even degrees.

Studying at a college will definitely give you a different experience to going to a school sixth form.

My childrens high school has a huge 6th form of over 150 students. They regularly have 20 or 25 in each class. My friends school has a tiny 6th form and has several classes with just 3 or 4 students. The smaller class school has a dreadful OFSTED rating with very low (bottom 1% in the country) attainment at GCSE but their 6th form is outstanding and is the top in the county.
