Compulsory education begins at the age of 5 when children go to primary school. Primary education lasts for 6 years. It is divided into two periods: infant schools (pupils from 5 to 7 years old) and junior schools (pupils from 7 to 11 years old). In infant schools children don't have real classes. They mostly play and learn through playing. It is the time when children just get acquainted with the classroom, the blackboard, desks and the teacher. But when pupils are 7, real studying begins. They don't already play so much as they did it in infant school. Now they have real classes, when they sit at desks, read, write and answer the teacher's questions.

and lasts for 5 years. Secondary
school is traditionally divided into 5
forms: a form to each year. Children
study English, Mathematics,
Science, History, Art, Geography,
Music, a Foreign language and have
lessons of Physical training.
Religious education is also
provided. English, Mathematics and
Science are called "core" subjects.
At the age of 7,11 and 14 pupils
take examinations in the core
subjects.
There are 3 types of state secondary schools in
Great Britain. They are:
1) comprehensive schools, which take pupils
of all abilities without exams. In such schools
pupils are often put into certain sets or groups,
which are formed according to their abilities
for technical or humanitarian subjects. Almost
all senior pupils (around 90 per cent) go there;
2) grammar schools, which give secondary
education of a very high standard. Entrance is
based on the test of ability, usually at 11.
Grammar schools are single sexed schools;
3) modern schools, which don't prepare pupils
for universities. Education in such schools
gives good prospects for practical jobs.
After finishing the fifth form pupils can make their choice:
they may either leave school and go to a Further Education
College or continue their education in the sixth form. Those
who stay at school after GCSE, study for 2 more years for "A'
(Advanced) Level Exams in two or three subjects which is
necessary to get a place at one of British universities.
