1d school 4d swithin
School = chool (sounding like "cool") after S[ixth=form].

4d. SWITHIN = Saint, also Sin = S + in, or 's' with 'in'.
1d) SCHOOL = S(ixthform) + sounds like 'cool'

4d) SWITHIN because the word 'sin' is s with in
1d school
Could 4d not be Swithan? An unusual spelling of the saint's name but one that is used sometimes. And it's an anagram of what and sin
Sorry but I have about an hour before my holiday permit runs out (given VERY grudgingly). Does anybody agree that "Swithan" is a possibility please?

Thanks. I have just twigged it! Sorry. "Young upstart thinks he can outsmart the Great Ones". Doh! Back to the exams where he belongs
Sorry and thank you
