Hi, if you go to a sixth form or just left (not a college) please say the name and say:
How it was- the overall experience
The food system and how good the food is
The teachers
The workload
Is it good academically
Are you allowed to take notes on a tablet instead of pen and paper/ whats the study or notetaking like

Thanks so much, I know this is a lot to ask but it will be really helpful!

My personal experience at Arnewood 6th but 6th forms are not one size fits all
How it was- the overall experience = I made some decent friends, left with the grades I needed but I did not enjoy my time there and found it stressful and overstimulating (i am autistic so this may be relevant)
The food system and how good the food is - food system was similar to lower school, you could pay with an account or a debit card and food was average. I did however get a part time job serving food that I saved towards uni fees which i would reccommend,
The teachers - I loved all of my teachers bar one (left without warning, didnt teach course) but I knew and liked them from gcses
The workload - this depends on alevels not 6form but mine reccommended we take 4 alevels and drop 1 after a year which increased workload
Is it good academically - mine was more academic than the local college but not very academic
Are you allowed to take notes on a tablet instead of pen and paper - yes
whats the study or notetaking like - they let us do whatever so long as we did take notes but some teachers "advised" certain methods or provided binders/textbooks but it was not enforced
The dress code/ uniform - dresscode was no ripped jeans, no tracksuits, no super short skirts, all were broken, dresscode was rarely enforced
