Loreto College or Laurus Ryecroft Sixth Form

I'm currently in year 11 and I'm stuck between these two colleges. I'm aiming to take A-level Chemistry, Biology and Psychology. Laurus Ryecroft offers the exam board aqa for all exams whilst Loreto offers Eduqas for Bio, OCR for Chem and AQA for Psychology. As much as I love the campus of Loreto and the lifestyle, I much prefer the day structure of Laurus. It's like going to high school cause it's a fixed timing everyday regardless of if you have any lessons and when they commence. The attire is more formal too. However, my parents also are divided on this. My dad urges me to go to loreto whilst my mum to Laurus. Can I have some help on this question? Thank you

Having gone to Loreto myself that school was like hell, and I would never wish that upon my own enemy. I'll admit I have never studied Biology, Chemistry and Psychology, but the fact that they offer two different exam boards for Biology and Chemistry is a bit of a red flag, since it is not consistent, not only that, but the fact that you have to do 3 different exam boards for 3 different subjects is also a red flag too, and also demonstrates inconsistency.


Edquas is the worst exam board ever. However, AQA is a highly respected exam board and it is the exam board that schools often use the most too. OCR is also a highly regarded exam too, but not as much as AQA. These two exam boards also offer a lot of study material and practice for their students as well.
