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.

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.
