BRITISH SCHOOLS
UNIFORMS
This is the most obvious difference between British schools and schools in other countries. Traditional schools have jackets and ties, while more modern schools have polo shirt or sweatshirt with blue or black trousers.
BOOKS
In the UK, students are expected to buy their own bag, uniform (as well as sports kit), pens and pencils, but that’s all. The schools give textbooks and exercise books for free. For the first three years of primary school, all students get free school lunches as well.
SCHOOL TIMES
British school days start around 9:00 am, usually with a 15 minute break mid-morning, and an hour for lunch, and finish around 3:00 pm.
AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Many schools have breakfast clubs from 8:00 am or earlier (for students whose parents work full-time) and after-school clubs until 4.30 or 5:00 pm.
Music bands practise during lunchtimes and after school. Often, there are after-school sports practice, and after-school lessons. These clubs and lessons are usually cheap, or free.
SCHOOL YEARS
British kids usually start school at 5 years old, with pre-school, and they continue until they are 16, when students typically take exams for the General Certificate of Secondary Education (or GCSE). Students in the same class are all the same age. Repeating the year is very rare.
