I need to find a school in the UK which...?
My son is at a school which allows him to wear shorts, he is ending that school and I don't care where in the UK it is, but is there a school in the UK which lets them or makes it compulsory wear shorts from Year 9 onwards. I also have another son that may be interested in doing this in year 7/8

It depends on the school. Usually between the 5th and 10th of september.
2 :
It depends on which part of the country a child lives in. Most schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland go back in mid-August, having been off since the end of June. Schools in England and Wales, however, go back in the beginning of September as they only came off in mid-July.
3 :
It depends on the part of The Uk that you are in. In England and Wales it's normally the first week of September, however in Scotland it's in August.
4 :
Over here we haven't even finished school yet. Spare a thought for us poor kids with two days left.

It will differ depending on the school. But generally the school reports are sent out towards the end of the school year. In the school that i go to, when you are in yr9 you get your reports sent out in february so you can use your reports to help you choose what courses you want to take for GCSE.

just apply... you dont need anything else...
2 :
Different universities & disciplines will have different requirements. For instance, if you wish to study business, you will likely need to take the GMAT exam. I'm doing law, where the application process was fairly easy: fill in form, 3 academic references, & 2,000 word essay. I'm sure you will have some visa requirements coming from the States which you'll need to check out with your embassy & the university. By the way, the UK isn't like the US in only offering e.g. medecine & law at grad school: one does them as undergrad. If you wish to do a grad degree, e.g. masters/phd etc: then you would apply direct to university. However, if it is undergrad degree, then be aware that UK has a central applications process, called UCAS through which most students will apply. I'm not sure if you would do so also given that you haven't come through UK secondary school system.
3 :
The universities in the UK all have web pages which explain the admissions process for international students. They even talk about visas and etc.
