United Kingdom · sixth form college
Leaving UK sixth-form colleges? Take your work with you.
Specialist post-16 institutions in the UK delivering A-level, IB, BTEC and T-Level programmes.
Typical account-closure pattern
Account closure typically falls within 30 to 90 days of A-level results in August. Portfolio-based qualifications (BTEC, T-Level) generate substantial file output that's worth downloading well before the window closes.
What to take with you
The work most often missed once a school Microsoft 365 account closes:
- OneDrive — all your files, all your folders.
- Class OneNote notebooks — your own section group.
- Personal OneNote notebooks — exam revision, mind maps.
- Outlook email attachments worth keeping.
- Co-authored SharePoint documents.
How mydocs.school helps
Sign in once with your existing Microsoft 365 account. The dashboard shows everything attached to your account — OneDrive, personal OneNote, every class OneNote. One click for each, or one click for the lot. Files stream straight to your browser as a zip.

Caveat
The closure policy described above is typical for UK sixth-form colleges as a category. Individual institutions inside this category may have different timelines — alumni licensing variations, longer retention windows for specific course types, shorter windows for contracted teaching staff. Treat this page as a starting point and verify the specific date with your institution's IT team.
