I've always said high school (and everyone I grew up with) but it was only after starting uni that I realised alot of people say secondary school.
I grew up in NW London btw

I tend to say secondary school, but my brother's school had "high" in its name so I use high school occasionally.

I have yet to experience that, but I’m from London too (high five) and applying to the US for universities. However, secondary sounds nice don’t you think?
P.S how’s uni btw?

It depends on the school - a lot of post-primary schools aren't "secondary" schools or high schools. I just say "school"!

I've always called it secondary school. I thought high school was American. Only since moving to the north for uni have I heard it called high school.

Where I lived, it was always secondary school or comprehensive.
The high school was a private school up the road for the stupid kids (despite the 10k/year fees they still got worse A level results than the two local comps).
