I play my secondary school system under an English education system, because it’s what I know. So the teens start Copperdale Community School in the academic year they turn 12 and leave when they’re 18.
The main aim for the teenagers with their education is passing exams, qualifying for University and choosing a career.
School Years
Year 7 ~ 11-12
Year 8 ~ 12-13
Year 9 ~ 13-14
Year 10 ~ 14-15
Year 11 ~ 15-16 (GCSE)
Year 12 ~ 16-17
Year 13 ~ 17-18 (A Level)
If a student fails their exams, they’ll be held back a year. Completing school with low grades will mean the chances of making it into University are slim.
