The School Certificate was a United Kingdom educational attainment standard qualification, established in 1918. The School Certificate Examination was usually taken at age 16 and it was necessary to pass Mathematics, English and other subjects in order to gain the certificate. Some pupils who did so then stayed on at school to take the Higher School Certificate at age 18.
It was abolished in 1951 following the introduction of GCE O-Level examinations. There is still a School Certificate for Secondary school students in New South Wales, Australia.
