Choosing sixth form

There are 3 sixth forms for me to decide: Woodhouse, Harris Westminister, and St Mary Magdalene Academy.

Woodhouse: Take me 1 hour to go there. Have computer science for a level. The only thing that bothers me is the distance.

Harris Westminister: close to my house, takes around 30 mins to reach, no computer science (so i don't know what to pick for the 4th level)

St Mary Magdalene Academy: close to my house, has computer science, but i don't really like the school as it is not a sixth form,

can anyone recommend which school i should choose

I don't know about the schools but realise this, your contact time is a lot less for A levels, so the 1hr trips might have little impact. As a parent I would want you to go closer to home, you don't want to be slogging around in the wind sleet and snow for 2 years. Your local place does Computer Science, go there. You can grow to like it. Check their results as well to firm up your plan. Good luck x
