I'm British, but the school I attended was a high school. I know in Britain we also call it secondary school.
Years are the same today, plus years 12 & 13 for sixth form

When did the extra years come into effect? I'm quite sure they did not exist when I was at school. Then again, I never attended it much. But, I do recall some people going on to further education, when it wasn't mandatory.
Not every school has a sixth form and so students may need to move to one that does, or go to a college, in order to take A levels/IB/BTECs from age 16 to 18
College absolutely did exist 10 years ago...

They're on about college as in 16-18 education equivalent to 6th form, ie where you do A levels or equivalent to get into university.

Yes, I did get confused, and I apologise for any offence caused. But, I thought he was American at first, and using Americanism words such as college to refer to university, and all I meant was college is something different in the UK.

The first sixth form college was set up in 1966 apparently, compulsory education post-16 came into effect in 2013 ish

No idea when they started calling it year 7 etc. Back in my day senior school was first form, second form etc which naturally went up to sixth form which just ran for 2 years - lower sixth and upper sixth.
