English school system for grades/years?

Question

like what year or grade will a 14 year old be in and what is key stage 3 or 4

Answer 1

It depends. Most likely they would start in year 10 for this September and therefore be beginning the two year GCSE course. You would be in key stage 4.

KS3 and KS4 are terms used to describe the stages of school. KS3 is from year 7 to year 9 (age 11-14). KS4 is year 10 and 11 (age 14-16). At the end of KS3 you do SATs exams (not the same as US, it stands for Standard Attaintment Test) and at the end of KS4 you do your GCSE exams.

After this, you can leave school, but generally most people go onto sixth form at their school or sixth form college which is from 16-18. They offer A-levels (what are required for universities) and some other qualifications that lead to diplomas etc.
