Explanation:
Wikipedia
The first five years of English secondary schooling were previously known as forms. Pupils started their first year of secondary school in the first form or first year, and this was the year in which pupils would normally become 12 years of age. Pupils would move up a form each year before entering the fifth form in the year in which they would have their sixteenth birthday. Those who stayed on at school to study for A-levels moved up into the sixth form, which was divided into the Lower Sixth and the Upper Sixth. In some private schools, the term Middle Sixth was used in place of Upper Sixth, with the latter being used for those who stayed on for an extra term to take the entrance examinations that were previously set for candidates to Oxford or Cambridge universities. Other schools described these Oxbridge examination students as being in the Seventh Form or Third Year Sixth.

Explanation:
Skolski sistem u Britaniji je podijeljen na Primary i Secondary. Primary obuhvaca sve od Reception do Year 6. Secondary school je Year 7 i Year 8.
U Engleskoj se krece u skolu sa 5 godina. Ta prva godina se ne racuna kao 'godina' vec se zove 'reception' year. Nakon reception year, krecu u Year 1.
Stoga, racunajuci godine, djeca krecu u 6th form (koja traje 2 g.), sa 12 g (Year 7) do 13 g (Year 8). To čini Sixth form osmogodišnjom školom, tj. osmoljetkom

Example sentence(s):
  • he first year of secondary school (the old first form) is now known as Year 7. The Lower Sixth is now Year 12 and the Upper Sixth is Year 13.
