Like Ed, I find the 'oldstyle' English education system fascinating and different. My knowledge comes from Stalky and Co. and the Wodehouse school stories with their references to Upper Fifth, Lower Third and other forms. One difference that still seems to be in effect is that your high school students don't have a graduation ceremony. Has this changed? I was reminded of it in the latest Harry Potter movie when the Weasley twins decide they're done with education and take off on their brooms.
