Did you go to a THREE TIER school system (with a middle school) or a TWO TIER school system? (UK).
Did you go to a THREE TIER school system (with a middle school) or a TWO TIER school system? (UK)?
I'm from Suffolk in an area where they want to get rid of our middle schools. The three tier school system seems to work very well for our local schools, and people are very anti ridding of the middle school. What do you think? Did you go to a middle school? or straight to high school? Did you like it? What are your thoughts? Thanks for your time.

Two tier. Primary and then secondary. Maybe a middle school would work as a preparation for secondary, but I think the majority of people adapt quickly to secondary schools. For some it can be a difficult period in their life.
2 :
Three tier. I have worked in a two tier before and it is very complicated in terms of student safety. The younger students get exposed to crowds and elements that they really should not have to bother with until they are more mature. What's more, they often get saddled with teachers who are not properly trained for such young ages (such as myself).
3 :
Three tier. However in Canada.
4 :
I went to Elementary, Middle, High then Technical... I also shuffled between starting in a Parochial School (much higher learning potential in their curriculum requirements), a Public School (not much more than a place to hang out with rowdy friends and get into trouble with your teachers who are essentially worthless Democrats) then back to a Catholic High School (where I learned that I hadn't really learned anything in Public School and had to go to summer school to catch up on my first year). My thoughts are that the Government should stay out of Education. They can't run any program effectively (Medicare, Medicaid, borrowing from OUR Social Security investments). I liked and paid my own way through College... I valued the education because I was paying for it and my grades reflected that fact... I was third from the top in my class when it was all over. Thanks for the question. .

2 :
Not every school in the UK have uniforms, but most secondary and primary schools do have uniforms. In college and so on we don't have uniforms, however there are some colleges that require uniforms.
3 :
most probably especially Hogwarts
4 :
Yes, all schools have uniform.
5 :
From what I heard from my friends who moved to UK most schools are single sex and you have to wear an uniform. Maybe its not like that in the entire UK.
6 :
At all schools I know of and have been to you need to wear a uniform(from age 4-16), however at college(at least in my own experience) you can wear your own clothes(It's different to US college, ours is age 16-18).
7 :
Yes in the UK we all wear uniforms They differ from school to school Its very annoying actually
8 :
I'm from the UK and I wore a school uniform when I was in Primary School, and I wear one now - I'm in my last year of Secondary School. Then when I go to sixth form in the school I don't have to wear the uniform but I still have to wear good presentable clothes, so no jeans...but some still wear jeans anyway. Most schools do wear uniform over here...Primary, Secondary...regular schools, private schools. I think there probably are some that don't have uniforms but the vast majority do.
9 :
I live in the UK and don't know of any school that doesn't have uniform but i'm sure there must be one out there. I know there's this weird school where they don't wear uniform but classes are also optional so it's a bit... strange. There might be a couple of private schools out there that don't have uniform but lets just say i've never heard of a school (apart from that one) that doesn't have uniform.
10 :
nope, my sister's school (James Gillespie's High School, Edinburgh) had no uniform, but I can't think of any other schools with a no-uniform policy. Oh, and in response to an earlier answerer, no they are not all same-sex, the majority are co-educational.
11 :
Yeah, i'm from Scotland and every school i know of in Scotland & England has uniforms. (My school has to wear, black trousers, white shirt, school blazer, school tie and leather shoes.)
12 :
I live in the UK. I don't know of any school that does not have a uniform here. At my old school prefects had to wear capes... it was so much like Hogwarts that it was hilarious.
13 :
Yes nearly every school in the UK have uniforms, some schools are stricter then others, my friends school had to wear black trousers and a white shirt, my school was much stricter, black skirt or trousers white shirt black and yellow tie blazer and school badge. I have been to two primary schools and a secondary school all uniform All schools wore uniform where i used to live All Schools wear uniform where i live now, We don't wear uniform to college though, well i don't i know of some that do. Most of our schools are not single sex lol .
14 :
Obviously not..? Does every school in America *not* require uniforms? No. How about those movies though, they always show them without uniforms. Does that mean ALL schools are like that..? No. Works the same for the UK... If you believe everything you see in movies, wow, no offence, but that's just plain stupid. Stereotypes are stereotypes.

Is it worth it to go to school and move to the UK from the United States
Is it worth it to go to school and move to the UK from the United States?
I have always wanted to live in the United Kingdom. If i am going to do it, then i think that the best time would be to do it when at school so i could get a degree in the country. I am planning on being a doctor. Is it worth it to go to school there and move there? I have researched it, and in the United States you go to college then med school. Whereas in the UK you just go to university and major in medicine. So would it be better to try to apply to a school there?

If you return to the US after medical school, you will probably have to take the US exam for foreign medical graduates.

Can anyone explain to me about the american school grades?
I mean people say 'i'm in 7th grade' or whatever so how old are you in each grade? Like in the UK you're 13 in year 8, 14 in year 9, 15 in year 10 etc - though it depends when your birthday is course but i was wondering what UK school years are compared to US school years?

American school grades are about the same and yes of course depending on the students birthdays.
3 :
Most states allow a child to start Kindergarten if they turn 5 by September 1. Then it is in grades (years) from 1 to 12. To be in grade 12 (a senior in high school) you are supposed to be 17 by September 1. Some states have different cutoff dates (when I was in school it was December 31, but the law has moved it back and back over the years.) It sounds like the age ranges are very similar to the UK.
4 :
Theres a year difference. A Year 7 in england is 11-12 whilst americans is 12-13. So theirs is a year lower than ours.

Your biggest hurdle is going to be finding an employer who will sponsor you for a work visa. Even if you went through school again in the UK, unless you already have permission to work (such as with a settlement visa) the NHS will not sponsor you for a job. Reason being there are so many people already out of work in the UK that need jobs, and even if no one in the UK was eligible to take the position, citizens from 27 different European countries are free to work in the UK. You could try and find a private doctor who would be willing to hire you. But just like with the American system they are going to have to be able to prove they advertised the job and no one was qualified. The employer will also have to be registered to sponsor people for work permits. There really is no easy answer to your question. Donna

Is my teaching qualification recognised in the UK? Can I teach in the UK on a working holiday visa? Are there teaching positions available in central London? Travelling to the UK and interested in a job in teaching? Register now. What types of teaching jobs in the UK are available? For teachers arriving in London from overseas, there is a full range of vacancies available from agency supply teaching to permanent vacancies. Teaching jobs in the UK are usually described as being Long Term, Day to Day (or Supply) or Permanent. The notes below describe what these terms really mean for you. Note that the UK Visa you hold will to some extent affect the types of positions you can choose from. Any restrictions are also mentioned in the notes below. Long Term Teaching Jobs UK From 5 weeks to a full term or longer, long-term teaching positions usually provide all the benefits of a full time staff member and the stability of work 5 days a week. As a long-term teacher you will have full classroom responsibilities including creating lesson plans, student assessments, liaising with parents and educational bodies, and you may also be involved in professional development. Day-to-Day Supply Teaching Jobs UK Day-to-day supply is an excellent way to kick-start your teaching career in London. This type of employment is common and popular for newly arrived teachers in the UK. The benefits of Day-to-Day supply to a teacher from overseas: You will be introduced to a variety of schools and teaching situations and you'll gain an insight into the different ways schools are run. Teachers arriving outside of the normal school terms, or who require the flexibility of working when they like often prefer this option. You can work whenever and wherever you like. Often daily placements can turn into longer-term assignments, which is one of the benefits of day-to-day teaching. If you have enjoyed a particular day placement be sure to let your UK teaching agency know for future work possibilities. Once working, always give your UK teaching recruitment consultant as much feedback as possible! Note that the key to day-to-day supply work is keeping in touch with your teaching recruitment agency’s office. Often positions are filled on the evening prior to, or the morning of, the day a teacher is required. You will likely be asked to contact your agency’s office about 4pm to 6pm each afternoon and then in between 7am to 9am each morning to see what’s on for that day, or the next and let them know if you are available. It is your responsibility to be prepared for work early and ensure you can access travel information promptly! Permanent Teaching Jobs UK Permanent positions are for those interested in securing a permanent teaching job or for those overseas teachers who require Sponsored Work Permits. In this case a school will interview you in the normal way but when you accept the position you will become a full-time employee of the school. Again, these positions are for teachers who require the security of constant work and a regular income. Permanent teaching positions are ongoing and benefits here include holiday and sick leave pay. Generally schools ask for at least a one-year commitment. Where are Teaching Jobs in the UK Located? Teaching Jobs in the UK are located UK wide, in cities, towns and in rural areas, in publicly funded or independent schools. It is true that most positions are available in the greater London area, as well as Manchester and Birmingham due to the majority of the population being located in these areas. Best of luck.

Have you tried looking through a university prospectus (or two)? They usually tell you the required grades and subjects for entry onto any specific course. The entry requirements for Barts (Medicine at Queen Mary, 5 year course) are: "To be eligible to apply for a place at Barts and The London , you must already have or be predicted three 3 A2 s at Grade AAB at the first sitting. These must include Biology or Chemistry one of which must be at A2 and the other at least at AS level, at grade B or above. A second science subject is required at A2 for medicine if both Biology and Chemistry have not been taken to A2." So I think your choices are pretty solid.

Ask the specific school to make sure. You need health records (proof of the right shots being taken), school records (proof of attendance, perhaps levels of achievement), and occasionally they'll want the school to transfer details of the child's character (which may be kept hidden from the parent). Sometimes the school can do this themselves if you sign a release form. And remember, the different regions in spain are semi-autonomous, and can make some of their own rules.

You'll have a word limit imposed on you by the UCAS form (or at least I did). It's usually not too long, like 3/4 page. Start off with a short paragraph about why you want to do medicine and then go on to talk about your extra curricular activities. I think I just talked about playing in various orchestras for most of mine, and I know a girl who got into Cambridge medical school by talking about her flute (in her personal statement and pretty much all the way through her interview!). If you have the grades they can see you're smart, your personal statement is a chance for you to show them how you have lots of interests and are well versed in things other than studying. If you think about it, most of the applicants for medical school are going to have 3 A's at A level so there's not much to tell between them, so you need to stand out and show you have other things to offer them than just your brain. You need to be a well rounded human being. Good luck

What are the UK school ages
What are the UK school ages?
Okay, so I was wondering what the typical age is for people in the UK grade wise. I heard that they start college at 16? Is that true? Please clue me in on the details. I am 12 myself, but I am in 8th grade. Everyone says that I should be in 7th, even though I am usually the top of my class. Most people are usually a year older. (My birthday is in December) And I have a friend who just turned 14... Sooo, I was just curious about the ages & schooling age, & everythig. Thanks!! :)

4-11 = Primary School (Reception class & Years 1-6) 11-16 = Secondary School (Year 7-11) 16-18 = College / Sixth Form (Years 12 & 13) 18+ = University (degrees normally take three years) What the Americans call college is effectively what we call university. What we call college / sixth form is the last two years of secondary education (these two years are non-compulsory) and can lean more towards the academic or vocational. However, if you are doing the most academic route, called A-Levels, then the work is said to be at the level experienced in the first year of US College.
2 :
Helena has it right - and it depends what you call college. 16 is the school-leaving age, but more and more will stay on until 18 - a recent change in the law will make it compulsory soon to do that or to at least do some kind of education or training for two years while you are working if you leave at 16 and get a job. Exams at 15-16 (I was 15 when I did them as my birthday is in August so I was always the youngest in the class!) are GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education). Though when I did them they were O levels (General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level) - there were also CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and which one you did depended on how good your teacher in each subject thought you were. O levels were more difficult. GCSEs are the result of a government decision to merge them, but it hasn't really worked - teachers still have to make the choice of whether to put you in for the "higher tier" paper or not, and if they don't, you can't get higher than grade C. The point really is that people vary so much in ability that one exam can't fit all, but British politicians DO love to fiddle about with the education system! And most teachers are fed up with it and wish they wouldn't... There are quite a few choices at 16. Some schools have sixth forms and you can stay on in that, some don't. The name "sixth form" is a bit of a hangover from the way it used to be - Years 1-13 are a fairly new way of describing it. I'm 45 and when I went to school, it was three years of infant school (ages 4-6), four years of junior school (ages 7-10) and five years of grammar or secondary modern school (ages 11-15) - so if you stayed on after that you were in the sixth year or sixth form, geddit? :) Since then, the UK has "gone comprehensive" which has meant that the names of all the types of schools have changed and in particular, grammar and secondary modern schools are all high schools now. There were two types of school based on ability - there was an "11 plus" exam and if you passed it you went to a grammar school, if you failed it you went to a secondary modern. (To be exact there were three - there were secondary technical schools as well but very few of them. I know about them as my dad went to one.) If the school has a sixth form, you can stay on there for your A level (General Certificate of Education Advanced Level) exams, which qualify for university entrance. If it doesn't, or even if it does, you can go to a further education college or a sixth form college for the same exams - that's the kind of place you'd know as a community college. Those colleges generally offer all kinds of other qualifications too, mostly the practical job-related kind, and to us, if you say "college", that's the kind of place that we'd be thinking of.

We do not have the confusing 'grades' that you have in America - we have 'Years' and everyone will be in a school year class depending on when their birthday is - and everyone moves up one year every September (In England - Scotland is different) Compulsory school starting age is 5 - so every child who is 5 on the first of September goes into Year 1 - if they are 6 on the 1st Sept they go into year 2 etc. Most primary schools provide schooling for younger children - many have 'Reception' classes for 4 year olds and also 'Nursery ' for 3 year olds. Children younger than 3 can go to private nurseries but their parents will pay for that. We do not normally use that strange foreign word 'Kindergarten' in England - we start with Nursery Children stay in full time education until they are 16 - when they may leave and start work or go on to 'College' for two years - they can then go to University from 18 - basically for as long as they need to get the academic qualifications they are after.

There are two schooling systems in the UK: 1. The most common. Primary School (Ages 4-11) Secondary School (Ages 11-16) (16+) 2.The less common First School (lower school) (Ages 4-9) Middle School (Ages 9-13) Upper School (Ages 13-16) (16+) (16+) education can either be completed at secondary school in "6th form" or can be completed at a separate college and pupils take A levels which are needed to go to most Universities. A bit like Advance Placement exams in the US. However some pupils choose not to do A levels and do an apprenticeship or go straight out to work.

yes u start college at around 16, but thats if you dont go to sixth form, which is another extra 2 years in school, after year 11, alot of kids finish school in year 11 after there exams and go onto college or work in a job, thats normally about age 16 yes, but like i said some go on to stay for another 2 years in sixth form school and could then stay in school till 18 but like i said most just go to college or work. i went to college at 16, i was nearly 17 as my birthday is in october , and here u start new school and college years in september , so i was a month before my 17th. when u are 12 here u are in the first year of comprehensive, which is the 1st year of bigger school, year 7 basically. kids here go from nursery at the age of about 3 years then infant school till 4 - 7 years then junior school till 7 - 11 years then comprehensive school 11/12 - 16 years then sixth form (if choose too stay on) 16 - 18 years
Okay, so I was wondering what the typical age is for people in the UK grade wise. I heard that they start college at 16? Is that true? Please clue me in on the details. I am 12 myself, but I am in 8th grade. Everyone says that I should be in 7th, even though I am usually the top of my class. Most people are usually a year older.

Helena has it right - and it depends what you call college. 16 is the school-leaving age, but more and more will stay on until 18 - a recent change in the law will make it compulsory soon to do that or to at least do some kind of education or training for two years while you are working if you leave at 16 and get a job. Exams at 15-16 (I was 15 when I did them as my birthday is in August so I was always the youngest in the class!) are GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education). Though when I did them they were O levels (General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level) - there were also CSEs (Certificate of Secondary Education) and which one you did depended on how good your teacher in each subject thought you were. O levels were more difficult. GCSEs are the result of a government decision to merge them, but it hasn't really worked - teachers still have to make the choice of whether to put you in for the "higher tier" paper or not, and if they don't, you can't get higher than grade C. The point really is that people vary so much in ability that one exam can't fit all, but British politicians DO love to fiddle about with the education system! And most teachers are fed up with it and wish they wouldn't... There are quite a few choices at 16. Some schools have sixth forms and you can stay on in that, some don't. The name "sixth form" is a bit of a hangover from the way it used to be - Years 1-13 are a fairly new way of describing it. I'm 45 and when I went to school, it was three years of infant school (ages 4-6), four years of junior school (ages 7-10) and five years of grammar or secondary modern school (ages 11-15) - so if you stayed on after that you were in the sixth year or sixth form, geddit? :) Since then, the UK has "gone comprehensive" which has meant that the names of all the types of schools have changed and in particular, grammar and secondary modern schools are all high schools now. There were two types of school based on ability - there was an "11 plus" exam and if you passed it you went to a grammar school, if you failed it you went to a secondary modern. (To be exact there were three - there were secondary technical schools as well but very few of them. I know about them as my dad went to one.) If the school has a sixth form, you can stay on there for your A level (General Certificate of Education Advanced Level) exams, which qualify for university entrance.

How many years of school have you completed if you graduated from a High School in UK? And How many Years of school have you completed if you graduated from a regular College in UK??

English children start school at 4 or 5. Generally, at 11 they move to a secondary school, at 16 to a college or sixth form and at 18 to university. That's a very generalised description though.
2 :
It's divided up like this: 4-11 primary school 11-16 secondary school 16-18 sixth form (part of a secondary school) or a Further Education college (a separate institution). 18-21/22 - University undergraduate degree "High School" is roughly the equivalent of secondary school and sixth form, so to that point it's 12 years. By "College" I think you mean an ordinary university undergrad. (bachelor's) degree. These vary between 3 and 4 years for most subjects. Sciences tend to be 4 years. You see, degrees here are generally devoted to one or two subject, rather than a broad "liberal arts" degree.

By "College" I think you mean an ordinary university undergrad. (bachelor's) degree. These vary between 3 and 4 years for most subjects. Sciences tend to be 4 years. You see, degrees here are generally devoted to one or two subject, rather than a broad "liberal arts" degree.

Is Hogwarts the only magical school in the UK
Is Hogwarts the only magical school in the UK?
Or is it just the best? If it's the only one then it seems like the wizarding world must be seriously tiny. Do the students pay tuition to go there? Susan, I know other countries have their own schools. Not the question. And it is really tiny if the entire school can fit in the dining hall.

I think each country has one school coz in the goblet of fire, different schools from diff countries came to compete, remember? but Hogwarts is massive the story only concentrates mainly on Harry's year
4 :
Yes - I think it's safe to assume it's the only one in Britain. JKR has said how many people in Britain are wizards in Harry Potter, and it's not that many - if you think about it there's also only one shopping area specifically for wizards, and only one train to Hogwarts etc. And no, you don't have to pay to go there, it's like a comprehensive school in the Muggle world.
5 :
don't forget, they can make rooms bigger then they appear, after all, magic can do pretty much everything. SO it's doesn't matter the size of a room at all

Question to those schooled in the UK but went on to study at a Canadian university.
Question to those schooled in the UK but went on to study at a Canadian university.?
Canadian universities require a transcript of all your past courses and grades to be sent directly the university you are applying for. Transcripts are not part of the UK system, so my question is what did you arrange to be sent to the Canadian university you applied to by your former UK school/s? Even the university I am applying to is unclear on what they will and won't accept in place of an "official" transcript, despite likely having had many British students study at their university.

As Happyjumpfrog as said above you need to decide for yourself, which college or university you want to attend and which location you want to live. Also don't forget to make sure you budget for everything, from tuition to cost of living. I would suggest you look at institutions in the north, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds as they will offer a more affordable education and cheaper places to rent than in the south of England. Once you have chosen the place you want to study, applied and been accepted you will need to start the visa process.

Hi there, If you are coming to NSW you will need to register on the NSW Department of Education teachers site - there's an online application form - you can start the process for over in the UK. (If you can't find the site - let me know - i'll send it on). They'll want evidence of quals and a statement of service etc. They've passed a new teachers' act of 2004 - basically means that any teacher who has not been in the system in NSW for the past 5 years, needs to undergo an accreditation process (yep - more shifting of paperwork and an interview). I'm a Queensland teacher and undergoing that process at the moment - more a nuisance than difficult. May be worthwhile becoming familiar with the syllabuses - google the 'board of studies' for the relevant states. Good luck with it all

Did you know parents are not obliged to send their children to school in the UK?
I just want to let you know that you can home educate your children completely legally, and there is alot of support available to you. One hour a day is enough for young primary school aged children. Having studied, been through private education and seen my sister and brothers go through state education. I disagree with state education given in this country. It's rigid and rarely teaches children things they're interested it. The government bends the education and qualification styles to try and make people that THEY want in their society. and really who can afford private education. There are so many points that I would be happy to discuss if you want to know more.

most likly yea because a US dollar here is .50 cents there
2 :
Are you referring to state schools? if so they are free for British Citizens and foreigners with a resident visa. There are basically three types of 'Secondary Schools': The first one are schools that depend financially on the Local Authority; the State School or Comprehensive Schools which are utterly free - they even provide for stationary, note books (exercise books) and text books. The next category includes Grammar Schools, which are expensive and hard to get into unless you are a bright person, and lastly the privately funded schools or Private Schools which are even more expensive.
3 :
its also free to study in universities in germany and in france. I know of one program where you can even go and get a masters degree without paying one cent in tuition. its a fabulous program, free higher education, but there is talk of changing it. so if you get a chance to go, grab it before it is too late.
4 :
I assume you're from the US, and thus when you say "school" you mean university. Note that, in the UK, "school" pretty much means schooling before age 16. "College" is also another term they use differently. So when one of the answerers here wrote about "grammar" schools and etc., they weren't talking university. It is rather expensive for a US citizen to study in the UK. However, the cost of the best university in the UK - Oxford or Cambridge - even with the exchange rate, the higher international tuition rate, and the fact that you won't get US government financial aid, is less than that of comperable universities in the US, such as Harvard - but only if Harvard didn't give you any financial aid. So, if you know you won't be getting any financial aid in the US, and if you're planning to pay the full price of tuition and etc. anyway, then going to university in the UK can be a relative bargain. But going to university in Canada would be even cheaper. Again, talking comparable colleges and paying the full price. Thing is, there aren't a lot of scholarships for US students to study in at UK universities. And you won't qualify for US financial aid. And worse, the exchange rate right now is crap*. So, if you can get into a good US private university and get some financial aid, or get into a good state school, you'd likely do better, financially, by staying in the US. You can choose to do a year abroad through your US university, and go to the UK then. The best universities in the UK are the following: - Oxford - Cambridge - King's College, London - London School of Economics - University College, London - Imperial College, London - Manchester University - Edinburgh University - Bristol University - School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London * The way I calculate the US/UK exchange rate right now is this: I look at the UK price (say, 8,000 GBP), and double it. Then minus a tiny bit. That's the price in US dollars. So, if tuition were $8,000 GBP, it'd be the rough equivalent of about, say, $14,000 US. Not exact math, but it serves. Someone, above, mentioned that some schools in Europe are tuition free. They are. In some countries, it's only free for residents of that country, or for citizens. Often, you must be fluent in the local language. Iceland, for example; also the Czech Republic. Tuition is very low cost or free, but you must speak Czech. Very, very well.

Is the University grading system different in the UK than the USA?
I transfered from a university in the UK to the USA. My UK school was fully accredited in the USA. Any class that I had a D grade in will not count as transferable credit. Some credits didnt transfer and i dont think its fair because the UK grading system is different and I need those credits.

A grade of D does not constitute as a passable grade if either the U.K. or the U.S. A grade of D is considered a fail and an unsatisfactory ability and knowledge of the subject and thus is nontransferable. If you didn't think it was fair and you needed those credits, then you only have yourself to blame and you should have studied harder. A C or above is required to pass a class. Anything below will not count as credit and will be something you will have to retake. There is no way around it, you just have to study harder. There is no special rule, all students regardless of nationality are assessed the same way. You need a minimum of C grade to pass a class.

What is the most prestigious school in the UK for ages 13+
What is the most prestigious school in the UK for ages 13+?
i want one that is coed or girls only and includes 8th grade (year 9) Don't tell me any that is for boys only please Just so you know, i would prefer a coed boarding school rather than a only girls. I was only saying only girls so other people wouldn't give me only boys boarding schools. So i would appreciate it if you told me some that are coed. thank you.

I would have to say St Paul's Girls School. St Paul's is broken into a girls school and a Boys school. They are to all intents and purposes the best school in the UK for both sexes. FYI, I did not go to that school myself, but my two younger brothers did, after a lot of parental work to get them in.
