[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Freaking out over an ice skater...

[Kathryn]

Form, slightly old fashioned word for class, still used in conjunction with the 6th and 7th years of senior school which are together generally referred to as the Sixth Form, divided into upper and lower sixth. Although technically they're years 12 and 13 now (stupid new numbering system, totally unnecessary)
Also where a year is divided into several classes for administrative purposes they are called forms. ie the first years may be divided into 6 forms (for registration puroses, possibly the same as what you Americans call homeroom?), in the case of my old school, which thought it was being clever, they would be 1T, 1H, 1O, 1M, 1A, and 1S, because the school was called Thomas Alleyne School, do you see? (pathetic) Anyway I digress (as usual)
So to get back to my point, for the first 5 years of senior school a form is part of a year, similar to the way Hogwarts is divided into houses, but for the top two years Sixth Form is the general name given to all pupils.

Gee, I bet you're sorry you asked now :)

  What's a Form?
