Our year 11 DD wants to move school for 6th form, but doesn’t want to move to a different school that has typical boarding houses where there would be younger students and only a dozen kids from her year. Are there ANY schools where 6th formers live together in 6th form specific houses for both lower and upper sixth (years 12 and 13)? Can be anywhere in UK. We live in a part of Scotland where no where is commutable so she’s used to travelling! She’s fairly bright, not sporty, wants to be treated as an adult, and is fairly sick of petty rules.
TIA

Yes - Stowe sounds like a good option for the academic level too! The house looks luxurious wow!

Both Woldingham, Sevenoaks, Roedean and Benenden have separate 6th form buildings also with various bells and whistles like their own lecture theatres and laundries, canteens etc.

I can't think of any that don't really.
