In Great Britain children start school at the age of 5 and leave school when they are 18.All schools have a school uniform - even in primary schools.The school year begins in the first week of September and finishes in the last week of July.it is usually divided into 3 . Students have 2 weeks' holidays at Christmas and Easter, 6 weeks in the summer and 1 week in October, February and May.The school week is from Monday to Friday and the school day is from about 9:00 to 3:30, so most students in the UK don't go to school on Saturdays. There are 2 short breaks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and one long break at lunchtime. Students usually have lunch at school.

Children go to secondary school when they are 11 years old. Secondary schools are usually big - they have between 600 ans 1,000 students. Some schools are only for boys or only for girls but most schools are mixed. For each subject, students have a different teacher and they go to a different classroom. For some subjects, like Maths and English, students have their lessons in ability groups.
