16-18: Optional college. In the first year they sit their AS levels, in the second year they sit their A2 levels.

After that, there is university for those who want to/need to go. This can be for anything between 1 to 5 years, with around 3 years being the most common.

The Boswells School

I attend college at The Boswells School in Chelmsford, which is in Essex just north of London. During a normal day, we have 5 one hour lessons, with 1 half an hour tutorial session, 2 five minute registration sessions, 1 twenty minute break and 1 fifty minute lunch time. School starts at 8:55am and ends at 3:55pm. The only exceptions are Thursdand Friday, where we only have four lessons and school ends at 2:50pm.

Between Years 7 and 11 you have to wear a blazer, tie, white shirt, black trousers and black shoes, although after Year 11 it's just casual wear. The biggest problem in our school is probably the litter, and most of the students are well behaved.

Mathematics

English Literature
