• Answer:

  I think a British school year would be the same as an American grade year. They like to confuse the world with college names like freshman and sophomore, but basically it is kindergarten, or some such name, then grades 1 to 5 which are elementary. Grades 6 to 8 are middle school and grades 9 to 12 are senior school. Just to make things more confusing, in Ontario, Canada it is pre-school, primary, elementary and secondary. but also kindergarten, grades 1 to 3, 4 to 8 and 9 to 12.
