If I finished school on Friday?
Does this now mean that I'm legally not in fully time education. Or does it follow on until the following September when I'm no longer classed as a full-time student?

No more full time education! If you're going to college you'd be class a full-time student or just a student.
If you're not, then you're not legally full time education anymore.~
I'm slightly confused by what you've put ([robably not what you said, I'm just really simple so dw). Is this your last year in education or are you back in education come September?
I remember having this confusion, technically it means you're no longer in full time education but I'm sure you can get away with it until July or something
if you still have exams youre a student, i'd class you as one till summer holidays
Try checking your student card, some have an expiration date on it indicating the end of you being a student. Like, I finished on 29th April and my student card is valid until 1st June because that's when the college year actually ends.
I'm pretty sure you're still classed as a full time student until the start of the summer holidays or until you're taken off your schools/colleges system
probably still full time!
Depends what its for! eg. Signing on for JSA after uni was near the end of June as they expected your student loan to stretch till then.
I finished my last exam at the start of June I believe, but I was classed as a student until the 25th June as that's when the term ran to - that might be the case here.
Just because you've had your last lesson doesn't mean that you have technically finished school. I don't know about your school but I suspect that you're no longer legally in full-time education until the school term ends.Quote:

That's for high school anyway, if you're talking about college/further education you're just a full time student until you've finished your years (unless you leave early).
You're no longer classed as a full-time student. Even if you're going to college, you're not - as that's purely choice.

Well our college courses have set end dates, so she's probably still classed as a student until that date.Quote:

you're classed as being in full time education up to the age of 19 if you do a full time college course or sixth form. They are thinking of dropping the age to 18 but for a couple of years it will stick at 19 I believe
You'll be classed as being in full-time education if you're enrolled on a full-time educational course :P When I was at university I was still classed as in full-time education :PQuote:

I thought it was 16-18 year olds and 19 year olds, but only if they were in education since they were 18. E.g. starting A Levels at the age of 18 and finishing at the age of 19. But if you start at the age of 19 then you have to pay.Quote:

I was under the impression you could start a new course at 19 and it would still be free, but I can't say I'm sure, so you may be right :)Quote:
