2024, anyone going to LAE, NCS or Brampton?

Let's get to know each other!

1. Write down which sixth form you're going to (LAE Stratford, LAE Tottenham, Brampton Manor, NCS, KEGS, or any other)
2. Write down what subjects you're taking

We can all chat about our feelings and become friends before we start sixth form!

I'll start:
1. I want to go to either LAE Stratford, Brampton Manor, or NCS - God willing! 🤲
2. I'm studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics (though I might change Physics to Chemistry)

I wish I was one grade off for my entry requirements at LAE so I didn’t get in! ☹️ good luck though!

Hii everyone I'm planning on applying to all of these schools (I'm assuming you meant LAES by LAE). I would really appreciate any advice about these schools as the possibility of me already knowing people that go to these schools is basically 0 and I don't want to make a bad decision and be stuck in a toxic environment for 2 years without any friends. I also wanted to ask if there would be any problems with me applying as I currently live a few hours away from London and if I got into these schools I would need to move to London and I don't know if these schools only accept you if you live close enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance 🙂

Hi
I’m applying for sixth form this year. I need to get into an Oxbridge Uni. I have gone and googled a few including Brampton Manor, NCS, LAE and Harris Westminster. However I can’t seem to decide which is better. Any guidance would be appreciated. Also has anyone got any other sixth forms in mind to apply to that are either co-ed or girls and aren’t private schools. I think my grades will be mainly 8s and 9s hence hopefully won’t have an issue with minimum grades. However I do live more than an hour away from each of these schools any chance this will be an issue?
Applying to mainly stem subjects(Maths, Bio, Chem) need a fourth subject though. Currently looking into medicine. Anyone got any ideas on fourth subject? (Maybe Computer Science - need opinions on it though)

Thanks for the support guys! :smile:

hey i think its fine if u live an hour away if u can manage it because i know someone who went to brampton from chelmsford.
a lot of people i know that are interested in medicine are taking psychology a level with maths bio and chem however it isnt a stem subject so its upto you!
i would personally recommend physics because it's a sort of well-regarded a level and it could give you a competitive advantage to other applicants in uni if you do well in it i guess.
also what are your predicted grades? im applying to ncs and brampton as well.

Hi
In terms of grades, mainly 8/9. But I have my doubts as there is a huge difference between internal assessments and the real exams. Hoping I’m not the only who thinks this… still have mocks to do though.
What subjects do you plan on picking?
Nice to meet other people applying to same sixth form….
Thank you for the advice! 😊

P.S. Considering physics but a lot of people have said that my combination of subjects is a hard one and I’m not sure I’ll even get a 9 for gcse (8 maybe) anyways thanks for the info and I’ll put your point under consideration!

hi no worries, you should pick what you're comfortable with!
i've got my mocks going on right now, and i'm hoping to bring get mainly 9s and 8s (with around three 7s) and maintain them. yes i'm stressing about the external gcses aswell you aren't alone 😭
im thinking of picking further maths, maths, econ and chem.
are you planning on going to the ncs open evening on thursday?

Hey
Good luck with your mocks! I’m sure you will do well! As for the open evening, I have a prior commitment and unfortunately won’t be able to attend. (Maybe the one in January) To be honest I want to go to either Brampton or Harris Westminster so NCS isn’t my top priority more of a back up. However, do let me know what you think of the school if you do go to the open evening! 😊
