Depends on what the school calls themselves. Sixth forms are schools that offer A-levels or an equivalent. Some secondary schools/ sixth forms may choose to call themselves colleges, or it may be a post 18 institution (sort of like a university) that offer adult course or degrees. The term college is used by quite a lot of different institutions, you could just treat the term college as another more adult way of saying school.
