Henrietta Barnet and Sixth Form Help!!

I recently found out I got into henrietta barnet sixth form on a conditional offer and I'm really undecided if I want to go! I honestly applied with no expectation of getting in and with no intention of going but now I'm so lost! Do any current students or past students have any advice? How's the teaching and is the environment pressure filled? I got in for Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Chem :smile: It seems like a really good school but my other sixth form options are also strongish and the commute is pretty long. Any advice?

My predicted grades were
Maths- 9
Physics-9
Bio - 9
Chem -8
English Language -9
English Lit -8
Drama -9
History-9
Citizenship -8
French -7
I also do extended maths but we didn’t get predicted grades for it on the report we sent in
And I’ve already done Arabic and got an 8

My offer for HBS is atleast 61 points in their system (not 100 percent sure what this means but whatever 😅) An 8 in maths and chem and the rest 7s

Have you checked the over-subscription rules? If too many meet their offer who gets the places?

Do they still have required grades for progression to Year 13?
