@skulls: that sounds familiar as my sixth form too - and it turned out a big oxbridge contingent. on the rare occasion that a teacher went into the smoking hut, they turned a blind eye. although we addressed the teachers by their title and surnames - except in the Art department, of course. it was almost ideal in being a school that encouraged aspiration but wasn't totally anal about everything*, and didn't seem, as an institution, shit scared of league tables and ofsted.
and it had a half-decent library and you could use the classrooms outside of lessons - because if they weren't teaching you enough, you could do it yourself... libraries that have got rid of any non-curricular books, classrooms that get timetabled to full capacity, are both bad news.
