> Yup, it's the part of UK school that happens post compulsory education (so after 16yrs old).
*English & Welsh school. It's also used at the top of many UK private schools — both prep schools (at around 13, where historically it was the sixth "grade") and the public schools (which are, just to confuse everyone, not state schools).
In Scotland education beyond sixteen continues on at secondary school, with no separate institution involved. (Though many in England and Wales have sixth-form colleges attached.)
