How Does the British School System Work?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Kids must go to school from age 5 to 16.

- After 16, they can choose to:

a)Continue studying (for 2 more years).

b) Start an apprenticeship (learning + working).

c) Work or volunteer (but they must still do some learning)

2. Types of Schools:

- State schools → Free, paid by the government (most kids go here).

- Private schools → Parents pay (often expensive).

- Home education → Parents teach at home but must inform the authorities.

3. Main Stages of School:

- Primary school (ages 5–11): Years 1–6.

- Secondary school (ages 11–16): Years 7–11.

At age 16, students take GCSE exams, which decide what they can study

4. What Happens After 16? (Not mandatory, but most continue)

- Sixth Form (ages 16–18): Students take A-level exams, needed for university.

- Vocational courses: Instead of A-levels, students can do practical courses (BTEC, NVQ) that prepare them for jobs.

5. University (Not required, but many go):

- Bachelor’s degree (3 years) – The most common degree.

- Master’s degree (1–2 years) – If they want to study more.

- Ph.D. (3–5 years) – If they want to be researchers or professors.

Summary:

- School is required until age 16.

- After 16, students choose between continuing school, training, or working.

- After 18, they can go to university, but it’s optional.
