As parents, we're always thinking ahead and putting our children's best interests first. This is no more apparent than when we're dealing with their education. Ever since they were little, we've wanted the absolute best education possible for them. Thankfully, in the UK, we're blessed with so many great public schools that we don't need to pay for. We won't get into the whole private school debate here, but the gist is that a lot of kids achieve great things via the public school route. 


Eventually, your child will turn 16 and do their GCSEs. After this, they have a big decision on their hands. Those that want to go to university will need to pursue their A-Levels, meaning there are some decisions to be made. Clearly, choosing their subjects is a big concern, but they also have to figure out how they want to study. 


Typically, there are three options:


  • Sixth form

  • College

  • Learning from home


Each of these options has benefits and downsides, so which one is the best for your children?
