Yes you start nusery at age 2 or 3 I think then you move onto infant school then you goto Junior school after that you start comprehensive school at this stage you are about 12 or 13 and start at yr7 then each year you move up so after that it goes yr8 yr9 yr10 yr11 then you leave school at age 16 and either go onto college to study something else or you go into a job.
