Scottish 6th Form

[Momusirl]

Does anyone have any experience or reviews of St Leonard’s IB 6th Form program in St Andrew’s? We are moving back to UK and are looking for an option to transition our daughter to for her final 2 years. She visited St Andrew’s Uni for a summer program and it is her first choice (so far) for uni but would love some thoughts on teaching quality at st Leonard’s from anyone in the know, thanks so much!

I’m very last minute potentially moving back to the UK and need a place for my daughter (6th form) I have missed all the deadlines. We would prefer not to have to go private and to do the IB (not sure if ALevel curriculum a better fit transitioning from US?) Anyone know if Impington International college accepts late international applicants? Do any slots open after GCSE results come out??

Any and all insights, experiences and thoughts gratefully received.

Scottish schools are already back and dont do GCSEs or A levels.

Its a broader based curriculum than English A levels so might suit someone coming from the US.

@SpanThatWorld St Leonard’s and a few of the private schools do do the English exams.

My DCs have gone through St L - youngest is just finishing this year. St L only offers IB, so no highers or A-levels. They’ve been well-supported through what is a tough course and have been happy, made friends, been involved in lots of extra-curriculars and gone on to great things. The school had particularly strong results this year.

It’s quite a small school so every pupil is known well to the teaching staff. There’s quite a range of abilities across the school - and they run the CP programme as well as DP but the culture is very much one of working (and playing) hard and achieving highly.

It’s mixed teaching quality varies but there are some real problems in the school culture with racism sexism behaviour not being dealt with
