Where are you in the UK? High school starts age 11 usually.

North East England. Around here, it goes like this:

  • 4-8 years: First School
  • 8-13 years: Middle School
  • 13-16 years: High School

then

  • 16-18 years: College or Sixth Form
  • 18+: University, etc.

You are probably used to the two-tier system, with a primary school and a secondary school. Around here, though, we mainly have a three-tier system.
