At the age of 11 students transfer to secondary school. 'Comprehensive' means all-inclusive. They admit pupils of all abilities.There are also 'grammar schools' and 'secondary modern schools'. The pupils have to pass an exam to go there.

No, they are optional.

Pupils leave school at the age of 16 and there are several opportunities to continue there studies elsewhere.

6. Can pupils graduate from school earlier?

No, children must by law receive education between the ages of 4-5 and 16.

All kinds of out-of-class activities are part of school life in Britain. Students have a lot of opportunities for playing sports, attending different clubs ( for example, Book Club, Math Club, Chess Club, etc.) and singing in a choir. Most schools have very good libraries which students use for reference work.

GCSE exams are the most important examinations in British schools. Pupils sit the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) exams at the end of the 5-years' course. They usually take as many subjects as possible. Weak  pupils may only sit for 3 or 4 subjects whilst better students will take 10 subjects. Consequently pupils in Britain leave school at the age of 16 with examination certificates in the individual subjects they have passed.
