I have two versions of my CV.
Can someone review them.
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks

One on the right to be avoided for ATS parsing reasons. It is simply/sadly best to stick to simple formatting. Your format on the left is, imo, submit-ready as it is.
Work Experience is your main signal source and with your amount of exp, should take most of your resume. 3 years at your previous job, there should be a lot more to speak about. It should also be on top.
Skills should be at most one line per element (so you can fit in more work experience bullet points)
Drop like half of your projects. If you have this many projects then I assume many of them were of minor scale, which adds zero value to your 5 YoE resume. Drop any project you had to make for school.
Not sure what's in your Education. I looked up sixth form and it says education you do when you're 16 to 18, you should drop it. It's teen education of 7 years ago, it adds no value to your resume.
