Sixth form
The sixth form in the English education system is the term used to refer to the final two years of secondary schooling (when students are about sixteen to eighteen years of age), during which students normally prepare for their GCE A-level examinations.The first five years of English secondary schooling used to be referred to (intuitively) as years one (in which pupils would have their eleventh birthday) to five (in which they would have their sixteenth). The last two years of schooling, which are non-compulsory, are generally referred to as the sixth form as a relic of this older numbering system. Over the years, there have been many changes in the English education system, and a new year-numbering system has been introduced, meaning that the "sixth form" is now years twelve and thirteen of English schooling (year one is now in infant school[?]). The term and concept, however, are still in general use.
In some parts of the country, special "sixth form colleges" were introduced during the decades from 1960 onwards, recognising this as a particularly important phase of student life. A large proportion of English secondary schools no longer have an integral sixth form.

The offer of your Prince Elector's, farre
For Poland is as I have been enformde,
As hath sufficient counsaile in himselfe,
And such a King whom practice long hath taught,
The greatest warres within our Christian bounds,
And on the other side against the Turke,
Yet by my brother Charles our King of France,
That if I undertake to weare the crowne
Of my inheritance to the crowne of France:
By due discent the Regall seat is mine.
That if by death of Charles, the diadem
I may retire me to my native home.
I thankfully shall undertake the charge
The wealth and safety of your kingdomes right.
