School in the UK!

Here in the UK,schools usually start on September 1st unless the 1st is on a weekend.We have to start school when we are 5 and we go until we are 16.In 2013 kids will have to start going to school until they turn 17 and in 2015 they will raise the age to 18.Like me a lot of the kids here go to faith schools,some of them go to state-funded boarding schools.
