How long is Sixth Form in the UK?

Sixth Form in the UK usually lasts two years. Most students are aged 16 when they start Sixth Form and finish Sixth Form when they are 18, although some International pupils join Sixth Form when they are 17.  They will have done the Development Year programme (where they have completed their GCSEs in a year and/or have EAL support) before going into the Sixth Form. Some International students are 19 when they finish their A Levels.
