Hi Vadym!

I’m Jeremy, I’m 15 years old, I’m from the UK and I’m in Year 10 At Heath Secondary School in London. I’d be happy to tell you all about schools here!

Types of schools: My school is a state school. Most pupils here go to state schools but some parents pay for their children to go to private schools. Private schools usually offer a wider range of extracurricular activities including things like cookery, golf and gardening. Whichever kind of school you go to, you have to wear a uniform, though!

Term times and school breaks: School starts in September and ends in July, but we get 2 weeks off for Christmas, 2 weeks for Easter, a week half way through each term and 6 weeks in summer, thank Goodness! The school day starts at 9 and ends at 3pm. We get a 20-minute break in the morning and 40 minutes for lunch. Usually I take a packed lunch, but some of my friends eat in the school canteen. School subjects: I study lots of subjects – chemistry, biology, physics, English, maths, geography, music, design and technology and French. I also stay after school on Mondays for rugby practice. At the end of Year 11, I’m going to take my GCSE (General certificate of Secondary Education) exams. You need to do well to do more studying or get a good job!

Sixth Form: After doing our GCSEs, we can leave school or go to sixth form for two more years. Sixth-formers only study 3 subjects and they don’t have to wear a uniform any more! At the end of Year 13, they take their A-level exams (Advanced exams). I’m going to do physics, maths and chemistry. I really want to get into university to study Medicine so I need to get good grades!

So now you know what schools are like in Britain. Vadym, I hope, I have helped!
