Answer 2
Y8 is the same as grade 7, at least here in East Anglia! Our American kids go to a year ahead if they are going into the British system. We have friends whose daughter is in Y3, which is our American 2nd grade. She's going back to the states and is terribly upset that she has to be in 3rd grade in the fall. Poor mom is working on trying to explain that one to her.
