OS co-ordinates usually take the form of two letters followed by six digits. Take the two letters of the OS sheet you're using. Then read across the bottom first for the first three digits: the square number followed by how many additional tenths. Then do the same 'upwards'. I've tried to put this in simple language - a fuller account can probably be found on the OS website!
