1. School in the UK

2. School in the UK
The British school system is slightly different to the
Spanish.
We start school when we are 4 or 5.
There are 7 years of Primary School (Primary 1 to
Primary 7).
There are then 5 compulsory years of Secondary
School (Year 8 to Year 12).
Many students decide to study A Level Exams, and
these students study at school for another 2 years
(Year 13 and Year 14) or they go to a Sixth Form
Centre.

3. My School Experience
I went to Parkgate Primary School. It was
very small Primary School in a little country
village, where I lived at the time.
When I was 11 I went to a Grammar School
called Ballyclare High School, and I studied
there until I was 18 years old.
