Primary Schools in England
In Great Britain school begins at the age of four or five. Many boys and girls usually leave school at the age of sixteen.
In England the school year begins in September, but not always on the first day of the month, as school rarely begins on Monday. The English think that Monday is not a good day to start school.
Classes usually begin at nine. They have classes 5 days a week. They have classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Pupils have a break at 10:30. At one o’clock they have lunch. Classes are over at about four o’clock.
Schools in England have names, not numbers.
At the age of four or five, primary school children go to infant schools where they spend 3 years till they are seven. Their classes are quite informal. They play different games, run and jump. They sing songs, act and play a lot. They begin how to read, count, write a little too.
When children are seven they go to junior schools, where they spend 4 years till they are eleven. Junior schools are real schools. Their subjects are: English, Maths, History, Nature Study, Geography, Art, Music.
So in England children spend seven years in primary school.
