# The equivalent of your last two years of high school
Usually 16-18, though it's a wholly voluntary thing so can be accessed by anyone that wants to get the qualification

# So...
you don't have to go to your last two years of high school? That's soo lucky!

# Well from what I've seen of US high school dramas/films
Most people stay there well into their 20s
or are you from somewhere else and i'm missing the point completely?

# Um...
missing the point. ;D A lot of kids drop out, but those who don't graduate around 18/19 and go on to college or university. I think...

# Kind of, yeah
Education is only compulsary until 16, though most people do choose to go on to college (or 'sixth form' if you have a school you can stay on at).

One advantage is that it means (in theory) you get to choose the best place to study for those two years :)

# I'm not staying on at sixth form,
and going to Truro College, apparently it's alot better there, and I wouldn't be able to take another few years with my current drama teacher.

# Hmmm...
I'm so glad that there's no sixth form. Our high school is bad enough. I can't imagine staying with my class longer than the next four years. Otherwise, I might shoot something (or someone)...

# That's really why I'm not going to our sixth form
I really hate this school.
I only have a few friends here, and only one of them has stuck with me since my first year.
I really don't know what I'd do without him, but I'll find out soon...
