I want to know what months you go to high school in the UK and an detailed explanation (if possible) of the high school system - how do you graduate - what are the requirements. And if you know what schooling fees are please include that as well. THANKS

Answer 1

well we dont have middle school and high school its all one thing called Secondary school we start there at 11 and finish at 16.

We're at school from September to July, we graduate when we're in year 11 in my school its about June when you graduate so its the end of the year after all your exams.  

We don't really have any requirements... and its free unless you go to a private school which is normally expensive.

We also have to wear uniforms too.

And when we finish secondary school we go to either College or "Sixth form" until we're 18 when we go to University.

Before Secondary school we go to Primary school which is from when you're 4-11.  Before that we have Nursery which is for 3-4 year olds.

Also we have year groups it goes

Hope this has helped :)
