Schools in England and Wales
In England and Wales children start school when they are five. A lot of them leave school when they become sixteen. Some stay for two more years and then go to universities or colleges. The school year in England begins in September. It never begins on Monday. The English don't think it is good to start a new thing on Monday, so school usually begins on the first Tuesday of September. Little children who are five, go to primary school and stay there for six years. When they are eleven, primary school pupils go to secondary school.
