Grammar Schools - 11-18, offered a broader curriculum than e.g. public schools.

Technical Colleges - 16+, aimed at working men in engineering, science, etc.

Userhead, that is.

I wasn't going to bother, but I bought a "Help Japan" vgift for [livejournal.com profile] honorh, who it turns out has made it to safety in a shelter, and decided that I might as well splurge on the userhead too.
