Age 4 you have reception class (or year one)
Then from that to Year 6 it's primary school.
Year 7 to Year 11 it's high school. (Finish at age 16).
This is when compulsory education ends.
Year 12 to 13 it's college. (College or sixth form, sixth forms are generally attached to a high school.)
And after that it's university.
They are thinking about making people stay in education until they're 18, which is a stupid idea (I'm not even going to say IMO, it actually is a stupid idea!). The biggest problem with high school is that the focus is on helping people who don't want to learn to learn! College is great because everyone there wants to work, and those who don't get kicked out.
