^^ Exactly what I was going to say. Plus they could have up to 3 series per academic year (as there are 3 terms a year in England).

Also the series is set in England and we don't have high school, freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors, we have senior school which lasts for 7 years (from 11 to 18) so.... :P I am not saying that they were 11 in the first series or anything cause clearly they weren't, but they could have been younger than the age you start high school in America.

Just a little bit of insight into the British schooling system for all you Americans (and wherever else you may be from) :D
