Why should I go to school?

I’m sure you know that going to school is not an option; it is the law for all children and young people aged between five and 16 to be in full-time education.

Sometimes it can feel like a chore – but you know what – school can be great fun! School is a great place to spend time with your friends, to learn new things, to get involved in sports, art and drama. You can find out more about the world and things that interest you. Sometimes it can be annoying to be told what to do by teachers but that is their job and they have to make sure that you are learning so you have a great future!
