There is a little village primary school not too far from me with c50 pupils and it has 2 classes with mixed ages from 4 to 11. Can’t imagine how that works. Worst thing is that it feeds into the local secondary school which has c1,800 pupils. Poor sods’ heads must spin

Merton used to have middle schools, I went to one in Norbury (Stanford Middle) but we moved to Crystal Palace when I was 12 which meant I joined a secondary school in year 8. To be honest I shouldn’t have changed school and got the bus.

one of the hardest parts of moving to England is trying to work your fucking schooling system
was going to make a joke here about it being you in the schooling system but nah
First school, middle, secondary, 6th form college is the way it should be, change things up every few years, can’t imagine how bad it would be to be at the same school with the same people for that long

Primary 5-11 Secondary 11-17/18
Find the whole concept of sixth form and the year numbering system in England weird
do the scottish generally start uni a year earlier than the english, or did I dream that?
Depends, but yes, lots of scottish students start uni at 17.
Think they do that shit in Redditch, so definitely not
