A lot of secondary schools are called **** high school but the generic term for the school you attend after primary school is secondary school. That is what it still says on the admission forms. I think a lot of the old comprehensives changed their name to high school in an unofficial attempt to Americanise our system. It was the same time that they changed our year names too. Nursery, Reception then yr1 to yr13. Officially it is still secondary school though.
