Hi Angelina. My daughter decided to stay at her school rather than move. She was happy with her GCSE results, happy with happy with the A levels on offer at her school and had really enjoyed her whole school life there. She did apply to other 6th forms, just because she felt she should, but never seriously thought about going to them. I agree with you - moving just for a change seems a bit of an indulgence when you only have 2 years to study for A levels and it's very full on from day 1. Finding your place in a new school or college and making new friends is inevitably going to be a distraction from the hard work that's required as soon as you embark on an A level course. Of her friends, I'd say 90% stayed at their school. 2 girls who gained 11 or more A* GCSE went on to specialist colleges and I heard of one girl who went to The Brit School. She has, however, made some new friends among people who have moved to her school for 6th Form and has enjoyed that aspect of it, along with the greater independence. I think she still appreciates not having to do a long journey every day or dress in business suits which is (a rather preposterous) requirement in some 6th forms.
