I am in Year 8 and at the end of Key Stage 3 (a year earlier than normal).

It's the time when the teacher reads out each child's name in turn. On hearing his/her name, the child replies 'yes Mrs (teacher's name' and the teacher notes down in special book whether the child is in school or not.

Yes, my school has over 1200 computers (including over 400 tablet PC's).

Some subjects are compulsory like Maths, English, Science and a foreign language.

Every student carries a swipe card. We swipe into every lesson to let the school know that we have attended that certain lesson and to know where we are in case of emergencies.

We can put money on our swipe cards instead of carrying cash around. When we want to pay for snacks at the Tuck Shop or canteen we just hand over our cards and they deduct the money.

Most hot food is served only at lunch time. Chips are only available on Mondays and Fridays.

We don't use our Tablet PCs in all lessons because some rooms do not have enough power sockets. We use the Tablets to do our work on and to search the Internet. Our Tablet PCs are connected to a Network so we can send our work straight to our teachers. The teachers can send them back with their comments.

I'll sit my GCSE exams next year instead of the year after when most other people of my age are doing them.

It specializes in Computers and Maths, so it is called a Technology College.
