[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read Emily Blunt’s Wikipedia page and it says the ages she was when she attended each school (“She started attending Hurtwood House at age 16”). I don’t understand. Are there cutoff dates there? [/quote] Their mandatory education ends at 15/16 (5th form in the UK/10th grade in the US) with a standard exam. Students who want to go to university continue for two more years (6th Form) specializing in 2-4 subjects and taking A-levels (roughly equivalent to APs). Most schools go all the way through but some students switch to a new school (college) for A-levels.[/quote]
