"(which is indeed strange considering she would have left school that very same year at 16, had she stayed in England)."

not really, if you consider that Alice is a smart girl, she would have attended to FE-College or even would have already went in the modern system with Primary, middle and upper school to make her A-level at the age of 18. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-funded_schools_%28England%29)

Only the minimum age for leaving school in England is 16, but also in Japan the visit of High School is voluntary (and the parents had to pay a school fee for it until 2013) and 95% of the students go to school until they are 18.
