All state schools in Britain are free, and schools provide their pupils with books and equipment for their studies. Nine million children attend 35.000 schools in Britain. Education is compulsory from 5 till 16 years. Parents can choose to send their children to a nursery school or a preschool playgroup to prepare them for the start of compulsory education.

At 11 most pupils go to secondary schools called comprehensives which accept a wide range of children from all backgrounds and religious and ethnic groups.

(General Certificate of Secondary Education) and then they can leave school if they wish. This is the end of compulsory education.

We live in a nice valley, there is a nice path up the mountains and we’ve gone up there. We were walking a long way. It was a nice day but there were no other people on the mountain. Eventually, we sat down to have a nice drink. I put my hat on the ground but the wind blew it away. It stopped at the edge of the rocks. James went to get it when suddenly his foot slipped. He was starting to fall!!! I ran over. “James,”- I called, “are you all right?” he was stuck on a ledge, halfway down the mountain. His ankle was broken and he couldn’t move. What can I do? There was nobody to help and it was getting dark. I couldn’t leave James alone. I’ve stayed with James for hours. It wasn’t a nice experience. Meanwhile our parents had called the police and they’ve sent a rescue helicopter to look for us. When we saw it, we felt really nice. The nightmare was over. We were safe at last. 7.
