hills road sixth form

what is the furthest they will accept students? i'm mainly interested in their classics a level since there are no schools near me that offer it, but hills is around 1 hour and a half on the bus i would like to say? maybe even 2 hours if the traffic is bad
and i know that's a very long distance but i am still very curious haha

I'm pretty sure the maximum they'll accept people who live ~ 2 hours away from the school.

Not too sure. It depends every year depending on their catchment area and whether that class is over subscribed. They told me last year was 15 miles - take it with a pinch of salt. However if you go to a CAP school then distance I'm pretty sure is irrelevant.
I think they are other schools in cambridge that offer classics? I think cheserton? If I'm not mistaken. I'm assuming your school uses my choice 16? If so you can use that to search, which school offers it.

Hope this helps xx

hills road y13 doing a levels here!
hills is a lovely place and IMO its a very good school, but you should judge whether classics a level is really worth it. hills has a lot to offer in terms of teaching and general placement in cambridge, but it sounds like your commute will probably cost you. bottom line is if you're willing to deal with that inconvenience of transport, its probably worth it.

classics is not a hugely subscribed subject, but if you want to do other more popular subjects like maths, they might not allow you to study them if you live further than 2h away - my friend who lives in wendens ambo wasnt allowed to do maths cus he lives too far away
