1) Yes, you can drop it around December/January of Year 12! also some time in between or near end of year 12

2)This is subjective - I don't have any experience nor been to Brampton open days so I can't say much about it.
3) You apply online and the process is the same as any other college/sixth form, aswell as it requires a short personal statement. Typically, on results day you go there with your results, and there would be helpers to guide you and you get admitted.
4/5) Depending on the subject, we have a variety of independent/in pairs exercises. We utilise iPads, which contain the slides and allow us to take notes

It runs from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., but you may eat outside for lunchtime! On Fridays, however, it is shortened until 12:50, and we have form from Monday to Tuesday. In year 13, you get home study and can leave home sooner (depending on your grades/attendance). We have scheduled private study time - for year 12, it should be about twice a week, but when you drop a subject, you get additional individual study time... We didn't have many assemblies unless you signed up for talks, which usually took place after school...
6) Intervention means just an extra lesson for a subject to help you improve grades. Enrichment is basically sports like badminton/basketball/music etc..
7)Roughly every two months (teacher marked) but we always get challenged/tested in class but with self/peer marking
8) Chances of trips are totally dependent on the subject. For example, with Geography there is fieldworks, Biology we go to forests, Politics we go to Parliament, Psychology we go to mental health museums etc...
