We start school in nursery (within the school usually) age 3-4 Reception class - age 4-5 year 1 - age 5-6 year 2 age 6-7 year 3 age 7-8 year 4 - age 8-9 these are all in primary school. The next is Middle school year 5 - age 9 -10 year6 - age 10-11 year 7 age 11 - 12 year 8 - age 12- 13 Then finally High school Year 9 - age 13-14 year 10 - age 14- 15 (doing "mock" exams for GCSE's at this point) Year 11 - age 15 - 16 (Final year in school, do GCSE exams) Then perhaps on to college or 6th form for "A" Levels. Education is free in the UK until you go to University or college.

In Scotland, children usually start school at 5 or 6 years old depending on where their birthday falls in the year. There are 7 primary classes. There are 6 secondary years but only the first 4 are compulsory. (you can leave at 16) Standard grades, the most basic qualification, are taken across 3rd and 4th year with final exams being sat in may of 4th year. After that, students can take Intermediate 1s (equivalent to a standard grade), intermediate 2s (between a standard grade and the next level up) or highers. All of these are studied for a year with the exam in may. In 6th year, students can take further intermediate 1s and 2s and highers but they can also progress to advanced highers (equivalent to first year uni). State education is paid for through taxes but parents can choose to pay for private education. University education is Scotland is funded, for a maximum of 5 years (including repeat years), by the Scottish Government for Scottish students; English students are responsible for their own fees.

We do have free medical care for our own and foreigners can receive private treatment from our services. If they are asylum seekers or students the treatment is also free. You will have a student visa which you may need to show if you need to make a hospital visit, you should register with a GP as soon as possible when you arrive. Some services also have a small charge. Your place of study should tell you what you need to know about the system. You can take out private health insurance and use this if you prefer, Bupa is considered to be excellent. http://www.bupa.co.uk/promotions/B544/

Shouldn't be a problem. With routers or other externally powered equipment you need to watch out for electrical power compatibility but the wireless specs are universal aside from radio transmitter power output limitations in a few countries.
