the court order states '' xxx amount untill they shall respectively attain the age of 17 or cease full-time secondary education whichever is the latter ''

Citizens advice state that as the two eldest attend/ed a part time course at a college that this is further education not secondary education presumably a distinction that the court intended ? etc etc ...

It will depend upon the level of course the student is doing. A college course can be deemed ''secondary'' if it is A''level (or equivalent ) or below.

If a student is completing a foundation course then this is deemed further education.

the definition is rather different from one that I got at the CAB. Secondary was definitely that which followed primary and before further education .
Who are you to provide the definitive definition btw ???
thanks again ..
