Yeah, but high school starts at year 9 (age 13-14), so:

(Y9 doesn't exist for a bit) Y9 --> Y10 Y10 --> Y11 Y11 --> (Either leave school or just take a few extra weeks off) Y12 --> Y13 Y13 --> (Leave school*)

This is done because, after the exams, the Y11s and Y13s have no content left to learn, so there's no point in keeping them at school.

Also, as I said, my school is strange for doing this. Most, if not all, other British high schools are normal.

*Unless you get held back, stay on for another year, or go to university

TL;DR: Yeah, pretty much

Where are you in the UK? High school starts age 11 usually.

North East England. Around here, it goes like this:

  • 4-8 years: First School
  • 8-13 years: Middle School
  • 13-16 years: High School

then

  • 16-18 years: College or Sixth Form
  • 18+: University, etc.

You are probably used to the two-tier system, with a primary school and a secondary school. Around here, though, we mainly have a three-tier system.
