Yes but no.

You can usually change even within a few weeks into sixth form, HOWEVER, it depends if there is space for you to switch (which usually you will be able to)

On results day, you go and enroll at the sixth form/ college either in person or online(via a forms) what you need to do is basically say I want to do these subjects and they probably will accept you.

On result day I enrolled at 2 places so you can enroll elsewhere and then go to the your preferred one/ the one that offers you what you want, and tell the other one your not going.

Basically they probably will - but be prepared for no, wherthere you have different subject in mind or a different college

Hope this helps - what you need to do now is just focus on your exams and deal with this later.

Chances are they will let you (especially because its only 1 person)

But make sure you have additional plans as there is no guarantee, especially if it’s an oversubscribed college


1) enrol at different sixth forms (even if you haven’t applied)
2) have different subjects in mind (whether that’s another science)
3) have a look at the subjects (you will spend 2 years doing these), see if you would like it(it doesn’t need to make sense) do you need it for any course you wish to apply for

You just need to have backups
