minus-squareHellfire103@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-21 year agoYeah, but high school starts at year 9 (age 13-14), so: (Y9 doesn’t exist for a bit) Y9 --> Y10 Y10 --> Y11 Y11 --> (Either leave school or just take a few extra weeks off) Y12 --> Y13 Y13 --> (Leave school*) This is done because, after the exams, the Y11s and Y13s have no content left to learn, so there’s no point in keeping them at school. Also, as I said, my school is strange for doing this. Most, if not all, other British high schools are normal. *Unless you get held back, stay on for another year, or go to university TL;DR: Yeah, pretty much

Around here, it goes like this: 4-8 years: First School 8-13 years: Middle School 13-16 years: High School then 16-18 years: College or Sixth Form 18+: University, etc. You are probably used to the two-tier system, with a primary school and a secondary school. Around here, though, we mainly have a three-tier system.
