School in the UK

School in the UKThe British school system is slightly different to the Spanish.We start school when we are 4 or 5.There are 7 years of Primary School (Primary 1 to Primary 7).

There are then 5 compulsory years of Secondary School (Year 8 to Year 12).

Many students decide to study A Level Exams, and these students study at school for another 2 years (Year 13 and Year 14) or they go to a Sixth Form Centre.

My School Experience

I went to Parkgate Primary School. It was very small Primary School in a little country village, where I lived at the time.

When I was 11 I went to a Grammar School called Ballyclare High School, and I studied there until I was 18 years old.
