All children at the age from five to sixteen attend school in three countries of the UK: England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Schooling is compulsory for twelve years there. There are two voluntary years thereafter. Children 1attend either state-funded or fee paying independent schools. First children enter infant school for children from five to seven, then they study at junior school for children from seven to eleven. From eleven to sixteen children attend secondary school (Cм.: Таблицу 1).

When children come to junior school for the first time, their teachers2 todivide them into three streams – A, B, C on their infant school marks and sometimes after a special test. The brightest children 3 to go to the A-stream and the least gifted go to the C-stream. At the end of their junior school English children usually 4write their Eleven Plus Examination on the results of which they will go next September to a secondary school of a certain type. These examinations show only mental abilities of children, not their knowledge.

There are different secondary schools in England: modern, technical, grammar and comprehensive secondary schools. Modern schools do not provide complete secondary education; the programmes are rather limited in comparison with another secondary schools. Grammar schools provide a full theoretical secondary education, a student 5choose subjects and languages to study there. If any student leaves grammar school after a five-year course, he or she 6take General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) at the ordinary level as all school leavers in Great Britain.

Secondary technical schools teach many general subjects together with woodwork, metalwork, needlework typing and etc. Almost ninety per cent of children study at comprehensive schools. The latter combine under one roof the courses of three above mentioned schools, so their number is constantly growing. At the end of the compulsory attendance cycle of education (at 16) pupils 7 take examinations to get their General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE). GCSE was introduced in 1989.

Secondary school lasts either until the end of the compulsory attendance cycle or includes two final years of secondary education generally known in Britain (for historical reasons) as «the sixth form» when pupils get academic vocational courses at a special tertiary college.

During two voluntary years of schooling pupil 8 to specialize in two or three subjects and take the GCSE of Advanced Level (A-Level) examination to enter a university, polytechnic or another college of higher education. Advanced Supplementary Levels (AS Levels) give additional knowledge on any subject and they are connected with a particular university or group of universities. Now children 9be assessed on their class work and homework as well as in the examination room. The academic year 10 to begin in September. It consists of 3 terms with holidays for Christmas, Easter and the month in August. Еach term has a mid-term one week holiday known as half-term.

Scotland has a slightly different educational system. Children stay in primary school until twelve. They take the Scottish Certificate of Education usually at the age of sixteen which is more like continental European examinations. For less academically inclined children a Certificate of Prevocational Education was introduced in 1986 to prepare for work and vocational courses.
