A secondary school describes an institution that provides secondary
education and also usually includes the building where this takes
place. Some secondary schools provide both lower secondary education
(12 to 15 years of age) and upper secondary education (15 to 18 years
of age) ie levels 2 and 3 of the ISCED scale, but these can also be
provided in separate schools, as in the American middle and high
school system. In the UK, elite public schools typically admit pupils
between 13 and 18 years of age. UK state schools accommodate pupils
between 11 and 18 years of age.Secondary schools follow on from

Irish model is structured similarly to the English model, but have
significant differences in terms of labels. This terminology extends
into research literature. Below is a convenient comparison
