Dave, uncharitable souls might think you are indulging in a little trolling or pot stirring as answers to your question are likely to spark the next round of the Tarboard Class Wars. As of course, we are all very charitable here, I'll take your enquiry as innocent and assure you that the terms 'grammar school', county secondary' and 'high school' are all English English terms but may have rather different connotations than the same words when used in American English.
