English term or phrase: Form
Trata-se de um texto sobre um abrigo para crianças que recebem ajuda de voluntários.

Contexto: she is in form 4 doing her final exam / she is in form three and next year she will graduate to fourth form where she will sit for her final exam.

Eu pesquisei a palavra "form" e vi que, por exemplo, "form 1", seria o equivalente à primeira série (no sistema educacional do Brasil), mas depois encontrei mais abaixo no texto a seguinte frase:

He is in form 4 sitting for his final high school exams.

Nesse caso, não faria sentido, pois depois de concluir a quarta série, não teria como fazer as provas do ensino médio.

Alguém tem alguma sugestão nesse sentido?

Obrigado!

Explanation:
Encontrei "classe" como uma possível tradução para "form", então deduzo que talvez possa ser uma referência ao número da classe. Não estou totalmente certo, mas deixo a sugestão.

Explanation:
Pesquisei um dos trechos que você citou e parece tratar-se de uma ONG do Quênia. Nesse país, o ensino secundário tem quatro anos/séries.

Confira:
Under the current system, students attend secondary school for four years before sitting for the school-leaving exam at the end of the fourth year. The first-class or year of secondary school is known as form 1 and the final year is form 4.
