which sixth form is better- brampton, lae or ncs?

i want to do paediatrics (medicine) but i don't know which school is the best for me.

my predicted grades are all 7-9s but i don't know if it will be enough for these schools as for the subjects i'm taking they're all 8s.
also, i've applied to brampton and whilst everyone is getting interviews, i'm not. should i be worried? also, i want to go study in an oxbridge university so i'm not sure which would be advantageous to study there.

Hello, Im in the same situation and heavily considering Medicine wanting to take Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Maybe physics. I applied like last week and have mot heard back about an interview yet. What A levels do u wanna take ?
Good evening, sorry for going a bit off topic but I'm interested in applying for Brampton Manor Sixth Form.
I'm quite happy with the prospectus, admissions, dress code, location etc but the one thing on my mind is the school times. For the Academy (Y7-11) it is stated that the school day begins around 7:30am and finishes around 2:45pm but never gives any info about the sixth form times. I have heard around that BM sixth form usually finishes around 7pm while most finish at 4:30pm latest. Please if you have the correct school times for the BM sixth form kindly share.

Thank you!
I asked in the interview and they told me for sixth form it starts at 8:10 and ends at 2:35

i originally chose biology, chemistry, psychology and maths however he changed it to further maths so i'm kind of scared about that.
I am in the same boat wanting to do medicine and I am taking bio chem maths french. They tried to convince me to take physics but I declined. I'm sure that once offers come out you can contact the school to see if they can change anything

Yeah, it's much less intense than Brampton, NCS or LAE. Although their results seem bad in comparison to the other Sixth Forms, it's because they have much lower entry requirements. They offer loads of opportunities and have quite a good reputation TBH

I chose Maths, biology, Chemistry and physics because I don't know if I wanted to do medicine and biochemistry or engineering, They wanted me to pick because if I wanna go to top unis for engineering I need further maths. But I'm still taking those 4 atm and hoping I get an offer

I didn't mind the pressure because they just want to make sure that you take the right subject combination but I'm worried I won't be able to take french since it is rather unusual
