English children are required to be in full time education between the ages of 5 and 16.
Some receive their primary education at an infant school and then a junior school whereas
others receive it at a primary school that combines both.
About 94 per cent of pupils in the U.K receive free education from public funds , while
6 per cent attend independent fee- paying schools. At the age of 11 , they move on to
regular high school, known as secondary schools. At the age of 16, students sit for an
examination called GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). All students are
tested in mathematics, English literature, English composition, chemistry , biology,
physics ,history or the classics , one modern ******** , and one other subject , such as art
or computer studies.
After completing the GCSE, some students leave school, others go to technical college "

standardized exams , known as A levels, in three or four subjects. These exams determine
