Honestly, as a teenager myself - i strongly suggest you check out private schools. If you can't afford it - try out for a scholarshipship or something..

There are 6 schools in my town. 3 private and 3 'free'. Mine was supposedly the best free school and i thought it was pretty awful.

People do not want to learn. The teachers are constantly harrassed by students, a lot do not know how to control the class - quite a few teachers left whilst i was there.

I've lost count of how many supply teachers we had. Most of which had no idea what they were doing. And a great deal of my lessons were pretty much just copying stuff from books.

I'm actually repeating subjects at home because when i got to sixth form - i just didn't have a clue what i was doing.. ('free' sixth forms are quite good by the way).

And sports? Again - very few want to do it. And you don't get to choose what sport you do, so you barely get enough time to actually learn it before you're onto another sport. Oh, and girls were never allowed to shower afterwards

There were a few teams, but they weren't a big deal. Just a few games at lunch break on the playing fields, which barely anybody watched. Not even close to what it's like in America.


On the other hand - i have a lot of friends in private schools who absolutely LOVE it. Education and athletics are of a much higher standard..

Whatever happens.. Good luck!

Edit: I didn't read your question properly . Primary schools are okay. From what i remember anyway! But they are getting worse =/ . Just make sure you do your research beforehand.
