British children are required to attend school until they are 16 years old. In England, compulsory schooling currently ends on the last Friday in June ring the academic year in which a pupil attains the age of 16. Current government proposals are to raise the age until which students must continue to receive some form of ecation or training to 18. This is expected to phased in by 2015.

At the age of 16, students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland take an examination called the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Ecation). Study of GSCE subjects begins at the start of Year 10 (age 14-15), and final examinations are then taken at the end of Year 11 (age 15-16).

In state schools English, Mathematics, Science, Religious Ecation and Physical Ecation are studied ring Key Stage 4 (the GCSE years of school); in England, some form of ICT and citizenship must be studied and, in Wales, Welsh must be studied. Other subjects, chosen by the indivial pupil, are also studied.

In Scotland, the equivalent of the GCSE is the Standard Grade.

After completing the GCSE, some students leave school, others go onto technical college, whilst others continue at high school for two more years and take a further set of standardized exams, known as A levels, in three or four subjects. These exams determine whether a student is eligible for university.
