In England maybe but not in Scotland the SQA just post them to you. When I was in 6th year, final year, I got email from UCAS and my university I got accepted before seeing my results so it was a bit of a relief before hand. To clarify the last time I got them was 2013 but I think it's the same method the now.

@Kiera Blowers Do you mind if I ask what part of the UK? My school in Scotland didn't have a graduation but maybe different for different schools. However we did have a prom for fifth and sixth years, two years groups for people how left in fifth year and didn't come for a sixth year. My school had prize giving for who did best in each class and special awards each year, like I got one for helping out backstage in every drama production that got put on between first and fifth year.

@Kiera Blowers Thanks for replying, apologies for the prom cancellation. I only asked as the majority of difference between Scottish and English schools. I do think thats the main problem with the American v British series for schools as the systems is different between the two as they're controlled by different exam groups. The two main ones are: 1. when people who went to an school in England and they say 'year 11' I have no idea what part of school life you're in as I grew up with: 2 years nursery then in primary it was primary 1 to primary 7, high school was 1st year to 6th year, so I always knew it as the year you were in that particular year of education life. 2. Applying to a job after I finished university in England and Reading on some applications you need these amounts of A-levels I'm not completely sure what the Scottish equivalent qualification is, so I have to search it up before I apply to know if I meet it or not.

We kind of had a prom, but half of us didn't see the point, there was a rule where if you forgot your P.E kit/homework 3 times you were banned from prom but they quickly took that back after they realised people started to deliberately "forget" their kit/homework.

For everyone who doesn't know schoolies is a holiday you take with your friend group in the time between final exams and getting your results. Usually it's about a week long and most people go to beaches and get drunk every night

My school is in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and is rated one of the best schools in the uk. I’m only year 8 (2nd year) but my sister left our school last summer. At my school leavers is the nickname of the last assembly for year 11 (last year). Everyone does fancy dress. My sister did 80’s aerobics. Some of her friends did the incredibles and some did monks. There are pictures in school. Leavers was on the last full day of school for the year 11s because after that there weren’t as many classes because of GCSEs and once you finished a subject’s exam you, the majority of the time, you got to no longer do that class. After this, the students all get drunk somewhere. Yes they are 15/16. Once all exams were done, they had prom on a random day of the week, my sister’s was a Wednesday, I think. This was so every day of the week different schools could have prom and so salons weren’t full. Just to note, in my area of the UK, most dress shops had pages for girls to put there name, dress and school down so there was less chance of 2 or more girls in the same dress. Most people would get a fancy ride to prom. My sister and most of her friends hired a vintage, open top bus and they waved as they drove into the manor/pub thing, where the prom was held. Some people rented sports cars and some people even got a lorry! Some families (only mine and like one other actually went and sat IN the pub) go to the manor first (which is where it was held) and sit in the pub, waiting for the kids to arrive. As I was a year 7 (1st year) and sat in the pub in the manor, teachers were coming in in their glad rags and buying wine and beer. Yes, I saw my teachers drinking alcohol! Once kids arrive, the parents will take photos of their kids with their friends and family and teachers. At the prom teachers are getting drunk and dancing and the kids are all dancing. There is a sit down meal. My sister was head girl so she helped organise the prom and the meal. Apparently there is one female English teacher at my school, who was sitting of 15/16 year old boys laps and telling them how much she was going to miss them. (according to my sister she was wearing a tiny, little dress) In August there is the exam results day where, you guessed it, they get their GCSE results. Around Christmas the next year there is the award presentation. This all students are given exam certificates. That is the end of their high school journey. I hope anyone who doesn’t go to my school now understands the Castleford Academy way of leaving high school.

I am still in high school but I had leavers in Primary school. we had SATs and then it was all a break (I celebrated my bday that week) A few weeks after our SATs we went on a Residential trip (Wednesday-Friday) Before that we go hoodies with the year (17) and all of our names on the back We got books for autographs and messages form pupils and teachers We got a book with pictures and facts about everyone and what they enjoyed and what they want to do when they're older. On the second to last week we did a leaver's assembly (I was a ghost) and we got to stay in our own uniform after that After school we had a party outside (I was all alone) The last day we had toy day Then it was all done but I had to wake up early the next day for Summer School Yay...……

At my summer camp, the Counsellor In Training (CIT) unit would play a prank at the end of second session every year. The most common was switching the red and blue dorms (they would repaint them overnight), but one year they did the prank during first session. And instead of accomplishing it in one night, they did it over the course of the session. They would each take a handful of spoons from the dining hall at each meal. By the end of the session, we were using plastic spoons because we had none left. Then, on the last night, they left all of the spoons in a pile in the Center of camp. It was hilarious

in wales, my leavers was meant to be: • going to school on the last day BEFORE study leave: we hadn't done any exams, but it was our last day in a standard school day • there would be no lessons: most of the day would be spent getting your shirt signed, making small pranks (like writing on whiteboards and taping things to the wall),, shirt signing was the MOST IMPORTANT thing though • assembly: we're all crammed in a hall with a powerpoint playing. the teachers make speeches and a lot of crying,, we get our leavers hoodies too then we do exams, yadayada, and then had prom. prom would be the place where everyone gets shitfaced. then we have results day, where we get our results from the main hall and see if we get to go to college/sixth form :') since i'm the 2020 class for year 11, i only got to do shirt signing and crying. i don't know how results day will go, but i'm sad i can't get drunk in the local field

Spent the whole video waiting for the signed shirts to come up, that was a huge part of our year 11 leavers, it was the best and I still look at mine for the nostalgia. Didn't have a sixth form leavers though.

The thing is Noah is actually relatable here because my school did have animals let loose onto the fields, and various smoke booms, salt burns. There's a singe mark from a prank that happened in 2010 still on that school field. Oh and there's a tree stump because a tree caught on fire from a smoke bomb

My experience- Year 6/Primary School Leavers: Signed shirts (you'd get everyone to sign it- any year, regardless of whether you knew them). Leaver's play, which doesn't seem like it's a thing in many places Year 11/High School Leavers: Leavers assembly- basically just going over the year and our time at the school,we also collected our leavers hoodies. Prom that night. Collected results in summer. Year 13/College Leavers: Nothing. We did absolutely fuck all. Other than collect results in summer.

We have a hoodie, a prom which usually has an after party just in some field or at someone's house, signing shirts, a yearbook and an assembly from our head of year. But I have missed out on this as a year 11 but my school is nice and are going to rearrange our prom!

There’s a high school really close to my house and it’s really new so this is the first year it has a graduating class. All the houses that have kids who are graduating have [high-school’s name] 2020 Graduate! yard signs out front. It’s fun to bike around the neighborhood and see who’s graduating.

So in our school we had celebrated the last day of school where everyone gets drunk as well while everyone was 16/17. And in Dutch we call it Laatste Schooldag (last school day) So LSD in short. So sometimes you'll hear the question: How was your LSD experience? And maybe it isn't about drugs per se

Honestly I feel like American vs American would be really interesting on some of these videos. I'm from New Jersey as well and some of my experiences are extremely different from Evan's.

My leavers (2015) consisted of shirt signings, two exams and an assembly where we watched a video of our teachers dancing and singing to Taylor Swift's Shake it Off

The class of 2020 watching this like “👁👄👁”

Well, since I'm sitting here in my Leavers '19 Hoodie (with my name halfway down the 1) and still wondering why I never got my Leaver's Book, this is a bit familiar. Still, for Leavers we only had the ball, which was right at the end of the Summer Term, long after everyone's exams. For me, it was so long after exams that I had my results already and so spent some of the ball talking to teachers about doing retakes. The rest of the ball was spent going to church (on-site, this was a religious school), dinner, speeches, fireworks on the golf course (also a posh school), dancing, and people getting drunk and regretting it

Our Year 11 “graduation” at my school in the UK persisted of an assembly on the last day where our head of year gave out awards for things and then after all the serious awards he would give out funny awards. For example, I got “late to your own funeral” award because in Year 11 I was late to school the most out of my whole year (79 times). Then there was like a slideshow from throughout they years and get our leavers hoodies if you brought one and that’s about it 😂.

Aw yes I love a video talking about all the things I’m never going to get to do as a senior because the school year got cancelled

I'm from Ireland so we had a graduation mass where we said prayers and sang hymns 😂😂

i went to a public school with uniforms AND we couldn’t dye our hair “unnatural” colors :/

Where I live in England, leavers in year 11 was a afternoon on the last exam day where we signed our shirts, a prom where everyone went to unless you were banned and an after party in a field somewhere, we had a leavers jumper and a yearbook. Year 13- everything but the leavers hoodie and the yearbook has been delayed due to this virus. 💖💖💖

The September after my A-Levels we had a “graduation” at a local church where we wore formal clothes and we had a reception at a posh local hotel after!

Norwegian graduation is ...very different. Look up "russefeiring"

Cuz of the current situation we just had a mini leavers where we signed each others shirts, ate cake then got drunk by a river

My leavers was the last day of school before exam leave, (everyone secretly gets drunk before going in) where everyone signed our shirts and we watched a slide show of photos from our 6 years of high school, then all went to a field for “muck up” which is just a big drunken food fight and people threw paint etc. Then after exams we had a prom in a venue.

I moved to UK from Poland to study at university last autumn and to be fair, I had no idea what typical British high school experience looks like. I love "British vs American" series, it just gives me this sorta 'insider' feeling.

omg Evan and Noah live together??? My life is complete.

2020 be like: "You aren't gonna have no graduation/leavers etc." Omg, feel sorry for this year's leavers who are gonna miss out on the full leavers experience

I don't go to a boarding school but I relate to Noah so much in this video like its what happened at my school

I was an emo in an English school. You just have to be creative with the uniform. We wore band T-shirts under our shirts because the school shirts were basically see through. Wearing hoodies over your jumper, wristbands under you sleeves, coloured hair extensions that you could take out if a teacher saw you, etc. The emo inside me was never hidden (probably should have been tho)

We signed each others shirts had an assembly then a water fight with the teachers before you went to the field and got drunk on lambrini or sours 😂

this is defo on 2x speed YOU DON’T KNOW MY KZread SETTINGS

At my school in Alabama we had senior week, there was senior prank, senior skip day, and some actually school sanctioned/organized things

I went to high school in Texas, and we had something called Project Graduation. Basically, throughout senior year you could get "Senior Bucks" for going to certain school events like sports games, pep rallies, band/theater shows, etc. The night of graduation there would be an all night lock in at the school where you could use your bucks to participate in silent auctions or to do different activities (karaoke, obstacle courses, etc.). And they did a drawing every hour for small prizes, but you had to be present to collect them. It was a way for the school to give seniors something to do other than party too hard after the graduation ceremony.

Imagine graduating🥺 -class of 2020

making me sad watching this knowing that my graduation is not gonna be what it was supposed to:(

Primary school we had a leavers assembly which was basically a talent show. High school you had an assembly, signed eachothers shirts with markers and went home at 11:00. College you have an assembly and come in fancy dress then do the Otley run which consists of going to loads of different pubs and bars and having a drink in each one.

For our leavers we had muck up day which you wear fancy dress costumes and also suited and booted where you wear a suit or dress.

I was confused throughout this whole video 😝

Lmao I'm from England and I have no Idea what graduation is.

I graduated from a small school in Oregon. We rented the gowns, but bought the mortarboards so we could decorate them. We also sang The Battle Hymn Of The Republic.

For the last seniors muckup day, they put a for sale sign outside the school and it was hilarious

Lmao imagine thinking Noah's a tory 😂

All of this is so unfamiliar. Leavers was just writing on each other's shirts. Then a prom. Then collect results in September. All this prank stuff makes no sense

Man, Graduation is gonna be great for all the seniors, like me, this year.

Our leavers is a muck up day (which isn’t organised by the school) an assembly, and then a prom which happens in a nice hotel with the teachers and everyone gets all dressed up, then there is an afterparty organised by the students in a field somewhere which is honestly the best part cause everyone gets drunk

As an Aussie who went to a private school we had final prank day and we all wrote on each others uniform dresses in sharpies to keep.

I'm in my graduating year in Australia and because of everything that is happening a lot of our final year activities have been cancelled. From what I can tell it's somewhat similar to what you talked about but there was also a lot of different things as well. I feel it would be really cool if you did more comparisons with Australia.

We had a leavers' ball, leavers' parade (also military boarding), and speech day where certificates were handed out for everything except the GCSE and A-level results in a 2 hour ceremony. Also leavers' chapel with a packed house.

I went to school near the coast and the night we finished year 11 we went to the beach and got drunk. Then in year 13 (upper 6th) we all went out in our school uniforms but done up to the closest city to drink. We all got jumpers with our names/nicknames on the back and the graduating year, then in our friendship groups went away over the summer on various holidays. Usually went to typical holiday places like Magaluf, Ibiza, Tenerife, Kavos etc, but i know someone who went on a climbing holiday to Iceland with their friends. Sounded amazing!

I didn’t have a leavers as such, however when I was in year 7/8 the leavers that year decided to cling film the headmasters car... it was great watching his PA trying to peel it off 😂

I went to a private school in the US that had boarders and day students. Graduation was three days of events, meals, and insanity that, all ended with the formal graduation. Most of the stuff was for the whole senior class or even the whole school, like the academic award ceremony, but some events were for the boarders only. Also, every dorm had its own traditions. Mine had Williston night were the whole dorm would go into the main lounge and every girl would say their favorite thing/memory about each of the seniors. Our dorm parents and live-ins (think like college RAs) gave us gifts and there was a lot of crying. I definitely carried around my yearbook for the last two weeks getting everyone to sign it and lived in my senior class t-shirt that summer lol

2005 here- there was a sixth form ball, and an assembly on the last day, but that was it. There was a yearbook, but 80% was full of photos of the popular kids. Since everyone's exams were on different days there was no distinct last day.

My international school graduation was a mixture of American and British traditions with extra pomp 😅 We had the Leavers' Ball at a fancy hotel in Bangkok. We had a graduation in a separate, less-fancy hotel with caps and gowns; our high school diplomas were in a fabric padded folder with the school crest emblazoned in silver. We also had the Leavers' Dinner, which was a formal but also informal affair in ANOTHER fancy hotel. We had the Year 13 Leavers' Book in which we all got to design our page, but then there was also the school year book which every one in the entire school is included in (you get that for free on Speech Day). On top of the caps and gowns, we have leavers' t-shirts, which we had to wear to the Leavers' Dinner, and we also had Leavers' Letterman jackets, because they wanted to twist things up for that year. During the Leavers' Dinner, the school gifted us all with a school branded notebook, a keyring, and a fancy pen... oh, and some school branded chocolate, too. Now, Speech Day is the official last day of the year, and you watch presentations, speeches, awards being given, and the Head Boy and Head Girl are selected for the following year; all year 13s have to attend wearing their caps and gowns. From what I remember, everything except Speech Day took place during Study Leave. Before Study Leave, we had the Sixth Form Prank, and we also had Retro Day (where we would dress up in our primary, middle, or high school uniforms - whichever you had.) Basically, my last few months in school were MAYHEM.

I went to boarding school and study leave in the boarding house was a good time, like just lying about in my pajamas and hanging out w my friends all day it was a vibe

We had our leavers assembly and then left before our exams and then after exams my town had an end of GCSEs party. Where abouts 200 kids in a field getting drunk from all round my town/city. Everyone ran from the police, it was in our news, 5 ambulances were called for alcohol poisoning and people passing out. It was great. Then few weeks later we had prom. Along with the leavers hoodies and we signed tops during our leavers assembly. We also got voted awards, i was 1/4 pressers who had a comedian, singer, rapper and we got comparisons of our yr 7 photos vs our yr11 photos for everyone to see. Best few weeks of my life.

We had a bouncy castle, LOL. That's about it. Was fun though. The only thing I remember from year 11 was we didn't have to wear uniform and we went round signing people's shirts, even though most of us were staying for sixth form lol. We got proms both years, but neither were school organised, had to organise it ourselves!

gee do love being reminded that i didn’t get my leavers day and that i had two days warning before leaving the school i’ve been at for the last 7 years.
