This is utterly fascinating to me, as I would say something almost entirely different in lots of ways- if I had time, LOL.
Quite apart from anything else, it differs from county to county, if not smaller units. All schools here have sixth-forms with huge percentage retention rate, whereas some places think comprehensives are for 11-16s, and everyone goes to VIth-form college for AS and A levels. And I just can't get my head round a school that stops at 16, like old elementary schools and secondary moderns. Sort of headless, and incomplete...

And nowadays Junior schools (here at least) all have nurseries, and expect kids to start infants earlier, on pain of losing the place, which causes much grumbling.

And every senior school I know of has a uniform - whereas in Junior schools it can't actually be compulsory.
