In the education systems of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and certain Commonwealth countries, sixth form represents the final two years of secondary education, ages 16 to 18. Pupils typically prepare for A-level or equivalent examinations like the International Baccalaureate or, until 2023, Cambridge Pre-U. Key Stage 5 covers a similar stage of education, though it refers only to academic education and not to vocational education.
