OK so in the UK, how does it work? Is it similar to the way its done in the US, where you go to school Elementary School--Kindergarten(5 years of age)-6th grade(11 yrs. old), Middle School--7th(12 yrs. old) and 8th grade(13 yrs. old), and High School--9th grade(14 yrs. old)-12th grade(graduating at either 17 or 18 yrs. of age depending on your B-DAY), (the way school is usually split up)then college or any additional schooling from there?
Similar in any way?

School is COMPULSORY from 4 to 16 years old. Parents have been sent to prison for failing to make theie children attend.
Primary School - 4 to 11 years old
Secondary School - 11 to 16 years old
6th Form/FE College - 16 to 18 years old (until the June/July nearest to you 18 birthday)
18+ education is up to you
