This is my school and my area By sir John Cass Secondary School
Early School Life - Primary • In the UK, children start nursery which is a mini version of school at the age of 3. • Then it is a school year called reception at 4 years old. • Then you start school at what people say year 1 to year 6. • This is from ages 5 until age 11. • From nursery to the end of primary school it is 8 years, so there are 8 classes in primary school. • In primary school your class is around 30 students and are categorized in your years, for example: year 4.
Secondary School • In secondary school, there is a large change as there are many classes in a year. • For example, in Sir John Cass, there are 7 classes in a single year group. • In a year of secondary school there are so many people students than the 30 in primary school, in Sir John Cass there are 210 students in a year (year 7,8,9,10,11). In total it is about 1000 students. • At secondary school there are more lessons than at primary and each lesson is taught in more detail. • The next stage of education from secondary school is college.
Sixth Form • Students attend Sixth Form from the age of 16 to the age of 18. • There they will study and perform their A level exams. • Sixth Form is not compulsory though A levels are needed to get into most universities. • In most Sixth forms school uniform is not required. • Sixth Form is free.
University • To go to university students must pay between £4000 and £9000. • Anyone can go to university at any age though the average age of someone attending is 18 to 21. • To get in students need at least two A levels and some universities require students to perform an admissions test before deciding whether to let them attend.
The school timetable • Our school timetable consists of 5 lessons. School normally starts in the morning at 8:40 a.m. Each student has their own individual timetable. • Over school has a week 1 and a week 2 in which we have different but similar lessons. • We normally have a registration which last unite 8:55 a.m. and this is when lesson 1 starts. Each period lasts for 1 hour. After lesson 2 we have a short break for 20 minutes. • At 11.15 a.m. we have lesson 3 which is then followed by lesson 4. After lesson 4 we have lunch which lasts for 30 minutes. • At 13:45 – 13:50 p.m. we have registration which is then followed by lesson 5. • We finish school at 14:50 p.m.
School Uniform • Uniforms are worn to identify what school a pupil may attend. It also establishes a formal and adequate impression of the school. This is a very common item within schools in the UK. It allows students to feel like they are a part of something.
After school clubs • We have many after school clubs at Sir John Cass. • Some examples of after school clubs are sports clubs, art clubs, chess clubs and many more. • There are also twilight language classes which include languages like Chinese, Arabic, Hindi and more.
