Secondary Modern School refers to which grade?

Oops - sorry, wasn't rubbing it in!! ;-)

Yes, in BrE we say "leave school" if we're not talking about university.

When did you leave school?
When I was 16/18.
I left school at 18, worked for a few years but then decided to go to university when I was 25, as a mature student.

I left school at 16, did A levels at evening classes, and became a mature student in my mid twenties.
