Is it too late to transfer to another sixth form?

So im not sure if this is the right place to post this but im kind of at a loss here and I have no clue what to do or where to even start.
I just started year 12 continuing from my secondary school sixth form and I can't stand it.

For context I have been arguing with my mum since the beginning of year 11 about where I should go for sixth form and it proved no results and I was not allowed to apply anywhere else except my current sixth form.
Finally, now she's seen that this sixth form is out right horrendous (hasn't received an A or B in any subject im taking and has only been open for sixth form for 4 years) she now has opened the door to allow me to go else where.

However im thinking is there even a point? have i missed clearing? I have good results (majority 7,8,9s) but can I even apply this late? And even if I get in I have a whole month of work to catch up on so should I just stay? But the course i want to take requires A A B in my subjects so I NEED good a level results.

I honestly don't know what to do and im completely stumped.

The sixth forms i want to apply for are St Dominics college, whitemore sixth form or nower hill.

Please any advice helps.

The best answer to your question is to get in touch with those Sixth Form schools, calling them on the phone, and see if they have any available place. Be constructive when you have to explain the reason for your change; don't vent any negativity about your current school.

If you have dreams of going to a good university, it's probably better to go a bad sixth form. This is due to contextual admissions.Universities give more leeway to people who come from bad schools.

For A-levels, it's not the sixth form that guarantees good grades, it's your work ethic. To be honest, with the internet and AI, you already have everything to get the best grades possibles.

You have YouTube, where many high quality private school teachers upload their classroom lessons.
You have websites that will give you PDFs of course textbooks
You have AI which can explain concepts in simple to understand ways and help you solve questions
And lastly, you have forums like this.

This is more than enough to get A*s in all of your A-levels. You just have to put the work in. Going to a better sixth form won't guarantee you better grades.

-Good luck.
