Choosing sixth form

In your opinion, Cardinal Newman Catholic School sixth form and Luton Sixth Form College, which is better

If your looking in terms of academics, might I suggest you looking at each respective previous scores i.e. what their A-Level score are like, it might give some insight on which to go to.

I later chose Cardinal Newman Catholic School and it's been alright so far. I like it cause it's smaller (less than 150 students) and it's obviously easier to handle such a number. So far the experience has been great, you get hard copy textbooks which you'd return at the end of your course(for people like me who prefer physical textbooks to the online version 👀)

Just a sprikle of slightly strict rules here and there but it's alright. You feel supported, you could ask questions at any time, it's a nice place to be😊

Oh I'm in year 12, try to get good grades and send your results as early as possible on the results day, so you can confirm your place and get to study the exact subjects you chose.
I had a friend that didn't send her results early enough on results day so she got offered admission to study Physics instead of biology. Those who sent their results earlier, got their place to study each subject they wanted to.
I sent my results as early as 8am and I got to do the subjects I wanted to do

I have a few questions,
1) can I change the subjects I want to do on results day?
2) are the teachers good, particularly for maths and physics
3) what are the students like?
4)what are the days like, how many hours etc
5)what grades did you get, as an external applicant do I need to get really good grades to get accepted?
