If your school has a sixth form you may be thinking of staying on.

You will be in a familiar place with pupils and teachers who you already know.
-
You will be expected to take more responsibility for yourself and set an example to younger pupils.
-
You will usually continue to wear school uniform, but this may be different to that worn by the rest of the school.
-
Sixth forms offer a range of AS and A Level courses in subjects like History, French and Chemistry.
-
Some sixth forms also offer work-related subjects like Business Studies, Leisure and Tourism or Health and Social Care.
-
Some schools also offer intermediate level courses and most also allow pupils to re-take GCSEs.
-
Some schools have arrangements with other local schools or colleges so they are able to offer you a wider choice of course.

If you fancy studying in the sixth form but your school doesn‘t have one, you could transfer to another school if it‘s in travelling distance.
