The British Education System

What do you know about
English schools?

The British school system explained

Boarding schools

A very British phenomenon. Think of Harry Potter for example. Boarding school stories make up an entire literary genre.

• What do you think are the perks of attending a boarding school?
• What about the other side of the coin? What are the drawbacks of life at a boarding school?

What do you know about the British school system now, that you didn't know this morning?
