Fyi: it’s called post secondary because, I think, UK calls it primary, secondary, and after that is post secondary.

    Yeah it is. Sorry I was talking mainly of my experience - I left school to go to college across the country but everyone I knew carried onto sixth form.

    That along with all the other complications mentioned in another comment (HE College vs uni) makes for an exciting mess. 😁

    Oh and it’s called 6th form cos you’re in year 6 of secondary school. Which is also called year 12!

      I think it’s a hold over from some time in the past where the year numbers started over again at secondary school, as I understand you’d do your O levels in 5 form, then A levels in 6th.
