The UCL Academy Sixth Form

About

The UCL Academy is dedicated to education according to 'stage not age'. This means that students will study courses appropriate to their level of readiness, rather than a set of courses traditional for a particular age of student.To that end, we have dispensed with the term 'Sixth Form'. This refers to a time when Year 11 students, then called '5th Form', transitioned to the next stage, which therefore became 'Sixth Form'.As the 5th Form was re-named Year 11 over twenty years ago, it seems illogical to us to retain the term 'Sixth Form'.AS and A-Level students are therefore referred to as 'Level 3' students at the Academy. Please don't be confused by this. You will soon get used to it.
