Busty uk 6th former

Description:The term survives from an earlier system when the first five years of English secondary schooling were known as forms which would originally have been long backless benches on which rows of pupils sat in the classroom. Pupils started their first year of secondary school in the first form or first year , and this was the academic year in which pupils would normally become 12 years of age. Pupils would move up a form each year before entering the fifth form in the academic year in which they would have their sixteenth birthday. Those who stayed on at school to study for A-levels moved up into the sixth form, which was divided into the Lower Sixth and the Upper Sixth. In some private schools, the term Middle Sixth was used in place of Upper Sixth, with the latter being used for those who stayed on for an extra term to take the entrance examinations that were previously set for candidates to Oxford or Cambridge universities.
