At my school we had to submit out post-16 applications in December of year 11. We could apply to a maximum of 6 places, but most people applied to 3 or 4.
I would suggest having a look at sixth forms in the area you are looking to move to. Likely you’ll have to submit a separate application to them or apply to them directly- maybe email a few and ask?
When you get back to school maybe ask your schools careers person or post-16 manager about this.
Hope this helps, have a great day :smile:

Since to my knowledge there is no centralised process for this as with university applications, I think the limit is really as many as you practically are able to organise the applications for which you would also be in the catchment area for.
