Overview
Overview
The senior years and Sixth Form at Reed's follow different gender patterns within one community: the selective senior provision is for boys, while the Sixth Form is co-educational. Founded in 1924, Reed's combines day and boarding routes, so residential life and post-16 study meet in one institution without being identical experiences.
The Sixth Form has its own mixed intake and academic context rather than simply extending the senior route. Day pupils and boarders share the community, but the form of boarding, age group and point of entry all shape the experience. That distinction matters more here than a single label for the institution.
Applications use registration and assessment routes that vary by entry point. Day, boarding and Sixth Form applications are connected but distinct, and the selective senior model remains relevant to each route. A prospective pupil's age, intended entry point and residential arrangement need to be matched to the relevant process rather than assumed to follow one pattern.
