Sixth form

In the education systems of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and certain Commonwealth countries, sixth form represents the final two years of secondary education, ages 16 to 18. Pupils typically prepare for A-level or equivalent examinations like the International Baccalaureate or, until 2023, Cambridge Pre-U. Key Stage 5 covers a similar stage of education, though it refers only to academic education and not to vocational education.
