Blade bane, in britain kids take their GCSEs during their 10th and 11th years at school, these are their first and most basic qualifications, A level courses (or collage courses) are a lot more advanced and are the stepping stone, so to speak between school and university (A levels are taken in the 11th and 12th yeras at school).
