Yesterday I got mocked for calling my secondary school "high school".

Using DfE data I can prove that I'm not weird - I'm just from the North West.

Does anyone know why usage of "High School" in school names is so localised?

@jonty I got mocked for calling "First School" First school as I never realised Poole/Dorset was a bit of a standout of having three tiers of schooling (now gone) -First, Middle High/Secondary/Grammar
