Loreto or Xaverian- URGENT!!

an hour and thirty?? You are going to be so exhausted honestly but its up to you if you think you can do it

i go to an extremely underperforming secondary school (on the verge of shutting down after i leave) and we aren't going to learn all of the gcse content, so i really wanna pick a good sixth form. there's only really good one near me but it's attached to a school so idk which i should opt for 😭 decided im not going xavs, but now idk between loreto and the one close to mee

What are your concerns about the sixth form being attached to a school ?

I heard its better to go to a sixth form college since they pay more attention to the students than secondary 6th forms, as their main focus is the 6th for students and not gcse students. Loreto has more extracurriculars and oxbridge success than the secondary 6th form too, so idk 🤷*♀️

As someone in their sevond year at loreto. Don't fall for the trap. It's basically all a lie. A lot of my friends have said the same. We thought loreto would be hetter as they have better outcomes, but it's because of how selective they are that they have these better outcomes. First off, that bus is a fight for your life. Everyday, we are packed into the bus, no space to move or breathe, especially on the way to picadilly gardens. Its horror, people can't even get off the bus and we all have to get off to pet people off. It's also really bad with student support, and the most they will do is suggest to make a study skills appointment, which is making a timetable, which isn't for everyone. Some teachers are good, but the bad ones are so bad. They just care about being on schedule with their plan. The food is bad, so i just go asda to get food. It's just overall nothing like i was told i would have. They also basically gave us a script to tell ofstead, but i won't go further. Overall just shattered my view of the school, I thought i would get support and be going to a good school. And if you are travelling 1hour and 30, its NOT worth it. That travel will kill you. I travel 1 hour by bus, when it's a 15 min car ride. Traffic is crazy, and because busses get filled with students, you will have to wait for another bus, it's just not worth it. I constantly fall asleep from the bus ride, and it's just too stressful. It looks like loreto does really well, but it's all the student's hard work. And I went to a really bad highschool, and I found the support 1000x times better. Save yourself while you can, i regret not going xaverian, my friends go there and the support and teaching is better. Hope this helps, any questions, just ask

OMG.

Honestly I went to loreto and knew a guy who travelled 2 hours and did 4 a levels he ended up getting into Oxford in the end, if you are looking to apply to competitive universities or even competitive courses I would recommend loreto. Its just about how you manage your time, and if you think you can handle it.

Flipping hell 2 hours?! 🤯

Thank you so much for telling me this as I had no idea about this. Just curious but what subjects do you study?
