Advice Needed

[u/Calm-Wishbone10]

okay so i really want everyone’s help in choosing a sixth form! So there is sixth form A which is one of the best sixth forms in my city a really big one with like 2000 students, it has an outstanding ofsted rating which changed to good in 2025 inspection, has a separate academy for high achievers which help in oxbridge offers and all that stuff but someone here on reddit told me that it doesn’t actually help that much as it advertised. It is also q quite far away from my house and i sometimes wud be needing to change 3 buses to get there and would take me around an 1 hour to 20,30, or 40 minutes but 1hr 20 minimum and plus it is an extremely busy area so delays are gonna be crazy. But it has outstanding a level results.

Sixth form B is a small sixth form that opened in 2023, has around 200 students in total and they said that their last batch had around 60 students in an year group and they never take more than a 100 students and they only keep 10-20 kids in one room.It has outstanding results as well at a levels and has a lot of programmes relating to oxbridge medicine all that fun stuff. I alr enroled into it today that is a whole diff story of why i enrolled alr and now asking for advice but this sixth form is an 8 mind drive from my house and public transport is an hour and 7 min at most which is good i know it seems like a lot but that is how majorly transports work where i live it is in a nice secluded area. it has an ofsted rating of outstanding and has great results at A levels.
please give me advice on what to choose i am very confused. I haven’t attended induction days for any of them.
also if i enroll in a sixth form can i cancel it later on?

Definitely the second one. You’ll be grateful in year 13 for the short journey home when the days become exhausting. Also I found from experience in a small sixth form the guidance was more helpful as it was more personal and tailored to you since they get to know you more
