Sorry for my ignorance, but I honestly dont know how many years it lasts! 2 years or 3?

"but some schools allow 3 if things go pear shaped."

I don't think you can do that any more. My niece did three years in 6th form, but that was 4 years ago. I think the budget squeezes on local authority spending means that they can't fund a three year 6th form any more.

Yup, that's it. Expensive if it's private.

So that means that secondary including 6th form is a total of 7 years.
