Schooling is compulsory for all English children from the age of 5 to 16．The academic year in England runs from September to July and is divided into 3 terms：
Autumn Term：
From the beginning of September to mid December．Also known as the Michaelmas Term(private sector)．
Spring Term：
From the beginning of January to mid/late March(depending on the date of Easter)．Also known as the Lent Term(private sector)．
Summer Term：
From early/mid April to mid July．
Each term is divided by a one-week break called half term, usually at the end of October, mid-February and the end of May．
There are 2 parallel(平行的)school systems in England, the state sector and the private sector．
The State Sector
Schools in the state sector are financed(资助)by the government and administered through local education authorities, although many schools now manage their own finance and are known as Grant Maintained Schools．No financial contribution to a child’s education is required of parents．Broadly speaking, secondary education(from age 11 onwards)is comprehensive(综合性的)i．e．schools accept children of all academic levels, and are, in the main, co-educational．However there are still some grammar schools which select only the more academically gifted children on the basis of an examination and these tend to be single sex schools．All schools in the state sector are day schools．
The Private Sector
Schools in the private sector are known as independent or public schools．They rely for finance only on fees charged parents．The majority are boarding schools, although there are some independent day schools, particularly in the London area．Children live at school during term time, only returning home at half term and during the main holidays(Christmas, Easter and Summer)．However children may also spend one or two weekends per term at home(or, in the case of children from overseas, with guardian families)－these weekend breaks are called exeats．Most schools have fixed dates for exeats, although some will allow children/parents to choose their own exeat weekends．
