The secondary modern school provides a general education, including much instruction of a practical sort, up to the age of fifteen only, when the children leave school to go to work.
The Technical school providing technical education up to the age of eighteen, was established by the Educational Act of 1944, but as yet there are very few schools of this type.
Comprehensive school

11. SCHOOL UNIFORM
A lot of people think that school uniforms in England are for the children from rich families at the country’s best schools.
But it isn’t always true.In fact, uniforms first came to schools for poor because they were cheaper.
Today a lot of British schools have uniforms. Usually they differ only in colours but include a blazer, a pullover, a shirt (a blouse), trousers (a skirt), tights or socks, shoes and boots, a scarf and gloves of a certain colour, a cap or a hat. School badge is on a cap and on a blazer’s pocket.
One of the most important elements of the uniform is a school tie.
