This is the UK education system.

As soon as someone turns 16, they are not legally required to have formal education.

Its a good idea to leave school at 16. This allows you a good 54 years to work at a low paying job before you are eligible for social security. The longer you stay in school the more your earning potential. Im not talking about getting rich. Im talking about you having the ability to feed yourself, and maybe even your future family. Good Luck

Although I do not suggest it, 16 is the age where you can leave education. I will advise that in this day and age, you need at least college to do anything with yourself or even make a living.

If he is 16 then he can legally leave but i would advise that he didn't because if he is a year behind most his age then he won't have done his GCSE's and this very important, i would know because i am 16 and have just finished sitting my GCSE's.
