What sixth form is better?

Hi I'm doing maths, psychology and economics at alevel and I've got offers to:

-LAE (+ geography for 4th subject)
-Valentine
-Seven kings
-Eastbury
-Riverside
-Leyton sixth form college
-Woodford County
-Frances Bardsley Academy

I'm not sure which school I should opt for as LAE my top choice would be perfect but I'm not so keen on doing 4 alevels.

You can ask the school to have free periods instead of doing 4 a levels if you don't want it so bad. However, I would personally go for top choice and drop 4th if it doesn't go well. Schools normally allow it but take in mind Geography is a very heavy on content subject and defenately not an easy option for 4th choice.

I know a few people who go seven kings sixthform and heard it's quite good, honestly after LAE I think it may be the best second option.

Hi there! I just finished my first year in aerospace engineering after attending Woodford county for 2 years and I wouldn't reccomend the sixth form to anyone. Check out a detailed post on why : https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7606708#post100748738
