In Scotland there is nursery ages3-4 primary school p1 age 5 p2 age 6 p3 age 7 p4 age 8 p5 age 9 p6 age 10 and p7 age 11 in scotland we stay at the same primary school until we go to high school but the English change primary school our high school is 1st year age12 2nd year age 13 3rd year age 14 4th year age15 5th year age 16 and 6th year age 17 after the 6 years we move on to college or uni but we can leave school at the age of 16 and go on to do what ever we wont. Hope this helps.
Most teachers can't teach. They are barely literate and are ignorant of their subject. They don't give a damn about their pupils and are very lazy. They are unhygienic and most of them stink. They are all leftwing reactionaries & are money-obsessed. They all vote Labour and hate their own country. Most of them smoke & most are virtually alcoholic. They are unreflecting and can't think. They are immoral & help their pupils cheat to pass exams. All teachers must be replaced by computers.
it is clear from this vid why the UK is now a 3rd world backward nation.
It is incredible this girl deemed herself capable to comment on the British schooling system.
As a British exile who left UK nearly 40 years ago, this only vid just convinces me of the correctness of my decision to leave. Why should I pay taxes and contribute to a degenerative society and to support government institutions who produce such appalling results?
@MrRetepyesmar not really understanding ur comment. I didnt comment onthe British school system cuz I'm not British so I wouldn't know anyway. thus is the reason for this video asking others to comment on the system
@MrRetepyesmar I tried hard in school though, at University now and just try my best. Get decent enough grades that way. The people in my classes who didnt want to learn and mess around- most didn't go to uni and just work at McDonalds
I agree with another comment that said that you sounded as if you had a south london accent, not sure if you will consider this a good or bad thing. I hope time has treated you well since you made this video.
@rocknrollerted thanks for your comment. Sounding from south london isn't exactly bad but I want to have more of a general southern accent, non-specific to london.
A huge variety of brilliant and mediocre schools, really. You can't make sweeping generalisations about the English education system. Perhaps in Scandinavian countries things are more egalitarian. In England, however, we have a dozen of the best schools and universities in the world... plus a few dozen horrendous ones, I'm sure.
they're horrible :L im year 9, thats age 13-14, key stage 3, or ks3 for short, it goes up every year, when you're 4 you're reception, you leave primary at age 11, year 6. we start school age 3 (nursery) and proper school at 4. there is college but most schools now do 6th form (age 16-18) groceries- fruit and veg? i don't know, but we buy everything in a supermarket, or a grocers, we don't call it a grocery store. this is a bit late but hope it helped!
In secondary school, each pupil is part of a form (of average class size) and they have a form tutor who is basically there to sort out any problems, academic, personal or behavioural. Then they have a head of year(eg. head of year 8) who is the next stage up in sorting out problems. The Principal is called the Headteacher (Headmaster/Headmistress).
Anyway, hope that was helpful. I'm basing this on what I've experienced, it might be slightly different in different parts of England. x
University offers (for people taking A levels) are based on your A level grades. For example, a uni course might offer you 'ABB' meaning if you get 3 A levels with grades A, B and B then you have a place at Uni.
The school year is split up into 6 terms. The first 2 terms are before christmas with a week break in the middle (known as half term). Christmas is 2 weeks break, next 2 terms & 1/2 term, 2 weeks for Easter, next 2 terms & 1/2 term, then 5 weeks for summer and the year starts again.
Another option for year 12&13 is to go to College (not University) Where you can study more specific courses or you can study A levels there too. I'm not entirely sure how it works but the entry requirements are generally lower for specific courses than 6th form.
6th Form and College are really different from normal secondary school. You're treated with more respect, in some schools and all colleges you don't have to wear school uniform and you have no obligation to stay on the school site.
Most secondary schools have a 6th form (ks5) and the basic offer to get in to 6th form is 5 GCSEs with grades A*-C. In 6th form most people study AS levels in year 12 and by doing an extra year in these subjects and taking further exams you can get full A levels. Most people start off with 4 AS in their first year then drop one subject and continue to A level with the remaining 3 in year 13. Again, these exams are externally moderated.
These exams are set by an exam board so everyone in the country taking the same subject course sits the same exam and external moderaters come in to oversee the exams to make sure there's no foul play. Most people take English Maths and Science and 4 other subjects of their choice but some people take more. I have 12 GCSEs.
Some people leave school with no qualifications and so struggle to find a job. You can sit GCSEs and A levels at any time in your life but it's only free at school.
Primary school is the first 2 key stages, secondary school is the last 3 (ks5 is optional) In year 2 and 6 you take SATs exams (used to be year 9 too but they changed it) Then in year 10&11 you start studying your GCSE subjects and in year 11 you take GSCE exams.
You've got a strange accent, where you from? Anyways the UK is 4 seperate countries each with different systems. I live in England so I can say what it is here.
Nursery, Reception, Primary=Yrs 1-6, High School=Yrs 7-11 (GCSEs in Yr11) END OF COMPULSARY EDUCATION, when you're 16 you can either get a job or go to College/Sixth Form for A Levels of other qualifications at 18+ its uni if you want to go. The actual State and Private systems arent much different but in private you don't do SATs exams
@BritishAtHeart357 im sorry but you really do sound like you are from the UK- like Tottenham or something (someone I know sounds just like you, and she's from there)

Where you have grades, In England we have years.
Year 1&2 = key stage 1 (ks1) (ages 4-7)
Year 4-6 = ks2(7-11)
Year 7-9 = ks3(11-14)
Year 10&11 = ks4(14-16)
Year 12&13 = ks5 (16-18)
Primary school is the first 2 key stages, secondary school is the last 3 (ks5 is optional) In year 2 and 6 you take SATs exams (used to be year 9 too but they changed it) Then in year 10&11 you start studying your GCSE subjects and in year 11 you take GSCE exams.
