Its primary school then secondary school.
Primary school is 6 years “full time” (5/6 years old to 11/12 years old). There are pre-school and “reception” years.
Secondary school is 5 years, with an optional extra 2 years.
Anything beyond secondary school is uni/college/apprenticeship/life
I found secondary school year 6/7 to cover the majority of the foundation of 2 years at Uni (ie, maths, physics, chemistry had a huge amount of repitition before building on it and specialising).

Primary is 4-11.
The extra 2 years are no longer optional. You can choose where you do them but you’re not allowed to just not.
Only England and Wales though. Scotland and Northern Ireland work differently. And some areas of England, because of course we can’t keep it simple.
