I'm no expert on the matter but I believe there is primary and secondar school. I think it's similar to schooling in the US with secondary school being like high school but with 5 years rather than 4. Again I'm no expert, but I wouldn't think that there would be too much of a problem aside from transfering to any other school and whatever applies to moving to a different country. Idk how much I actually helped I'm just pretty sure th schooling is like the same but with an extra year

This blog entry is a good place to start on background info http://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com/2006/12/types-of-schools-school-years.html For starters it says US grade 7 = English grade 8. Education is one of those things that isn't consistent throughout the UK. England and Wales have one system, Scotland another and Northern Ireland a third. You will probably find a big difference in how schools work and teaching is handled. There are certainly differences in how exams and assessment of work is done. Also above all the differences in the education system there's the general culture shock you'll experience by being in a different country.
