Schools and colleges

Printer-friendly page

The schooling system in England normally sees a child progress through three stages..

  1. infant / primary school

  2. junior / middle school

  3. secondary / high school

Sometimes infant and junior schools are combined, and pupils may attend Grammar School instead of a Secondary / Comprehensive school.
