Education
in Britain is compulsory and free for all children.
Primary education begins at the age of 5 in England,
Wales and Scotland, and 4 in Northern Ireland. It includes three age
ranges: nursery for children under 5 years, infants from 5 to 7, and juniors
from 7 to 11 years old. In nursery schools babies don’t have real classes,
they learn some elementary things such as numbers, colours and letters.
Besides, they play, have lunch and sleep there. Children usually start their
school education in an infant school and move to a junior school at
the age of 7.
Compulsory secondary education begins when children
are 11 or 12 and lasts for 5 years: one form to each year. Secondary schools
are generally much larger than primary ones. Pupils in England and Wales begin
studying a range of subjects stipulated under the National Curriculum. About
5 per cent of schoolchildren attend fee-paying private or public
schools. Most of these schools are boarding ones, where children live as well
as study. The most famous British public schools are Eton, Harrow and Winchester.
The school year in England and Wales starts in
September and ends in July. In Scotland it runs from August to June and in
Northern Ireland from September to June and has three terms. At 7 and 11 years
old, and then at 14 and 16 at secondary school, pupils take examinations in the
core subjects (English, Mathematics and Science).
The main school examination, the General Certificate
of secondary education (GCSE) examination is taken at the age of 16. If pupils
are successful, they can make their choice: they may either go to a Further
Education College or a Polytechnic or they may continue their education in the
sixth form. Those who stay at school after GCSE, study for 2 more years for
"A' (Advanced) Level Exams in two or three subjects which is necessary to
enter one of British universities. Universities usually select students basing
on their A-level results and an interview.

And then I touch the ground.
6.
Discussion.
Pupil1: Children are legally required to start
attending school at the start of the term after their fifth birthday either on
31 August, 31 December or 31 March, however children often start earlier than
this.
Pupils are
required to stay in school until the last Friday in June of the school year in
which they reach 16 years of age.
During this time
children must receive full-time education that is suited to their age, ability,
aptitude and special educational needs (SEN). If a child does not attend
school, the local education authority (LEA) must be satisfied that other
appropriate provision is available.
Pupil 2
:
The Private Sector
Schools in the
private sector are known as independent or public schools.
They rely for
finance solely on fees charged to parents.
The majority are
boarding schools, although there are some independent day schools, particularly
in the London area.
Children live at
school during term time, only returning home at half term and during the main
holidays (Christmas, Easter and Summer).
However children
may also spend one or two weekends per term at home (or, in the case of
children from overseas, with guardian families) - these weekend breaks are
called exeats.
Most schools
have fixed dates for exeats, although some will allow children / parents to
choose their own exeat weekends.
