Sixth Form

Hello. I am trying my best to find the perfect sixth form for me.
I want to get into media. To study media, business studies [Or, any other media] and theatre etc.
I am based in London.
Would anyone be able to guide me through it?
Any sites that'll help?
For media, what is the exam board? I took WJEC media for A Levels. For this you have 2 exams plus coursework which is worth 35% of your total grade.

That seems quite cool.
I don't really know much about the exam boards etc.
I am currently in Year 11 and will soon start to apply for Sixth Form.
I know that I really want to take A level media studies etc.
I am completely clueless about anything beyond that.
[Thank you for reaching out, by the way!]
No worries, I took media in school too, but A Level media for WJEC is very new, as the specification just came out last year, so my year was the first to do it.For the coursework you could choose what you wanted to create e.g. music video, online lifestyle magazine, DVD front covers/posters etc. I did the online lifestyle magazine and I also had to create 2 different front covers for the print version. I would recommend doing it especially if you’re interested in this type of stuff.
