“Schools in Great
Britain”
In Great Britain children
start going to school when they are five and continue studying
until they are 16 or older. Compulsory education begins at the age
of five when children go to primary school. Primary education lasts
for six years. First they attend the infant school from five to
seven. In infant schools children don’t have real classes. They get
acquainted with the class – room , desks, play and learn through
playing. They learn numbers and how to add them.
When the children are seven they go junior school which they attend
until eleven. Boys and girls study at junior school for four years.
There they have classes, read and write, do mathematics. Then they
go to secondary school.
At secondary school pupils study English, Mathematics, Science,
Geography, History, Art, Music, Foreign languages and Physical
training.
There are some types of secondary school in Great Britain. They are
grammar schools, modern school and comprehensive schools. One can
attend modern school but pupils of a modern school don’t learn
foreign languages. If they go to grammar school they will have a
good secondary education. This type of school is most popular in
England. At secondary schools pupils study English, Mathematics,
Science, Geography, History, Art, Music, Foreign languages and
Physical education. English, Maths and Science are called “core”
subjects. Pupils take examinations in the core subjects at the age
of 7, 11 and 14.
They are some private schools in England. Boys and girls do not
study together at these schools. The sons and daughters of these
aristocracy go to these schools. The teachers of these schools pay
personal attention to each pupil.
It may be strange for you to know that English pupils have school
uniform. It is an old tradition in the country. A boy’s uniform
consists of a special suit, a school cap, a tie and blazer. A
girl’s uniform consists of a hat, a coat, a skirt and a blouse. As
usual their uniform is dark.
As you have just read British education has many different faces
but one purpose. Its purpose is to develop pupils’ abilities and
prepare them for life in the modern
world.
