Are these sentences natural?

If your friend asks you about where you've studied for the rest of your life. Is it natural if you say:

I went to nursery through third year at Grange Primary and forth year through ninth year at Anadarko Boarding School. Then, I transferred here.

or this

I had studied in Grange Primary from nursery to year 3. Then, I studied year 4 to year 6 in Anadarko Boarding School. Then, I move here.

Nursery is used as a Kindergarten in BrE and we generally use "transfer" when you move to a new school right? or we can use both?

He is eaten by cat.

or

"He has got eaten by a cat", "He's got eaten by a cat", "He has eaten by a cat"?

//Teacher told students to copy information from a blackboard but Jake didn't want to copy.//

I told him "If we don't copy we'll get ungraded" (If the school use U-A* or F-A grading system)

or

"If we don't copy we'll get zero"? (If the school use 0-9 or 0-4 grading system)

The yellow part does not fit. It is what people say when they talk life in the future. It would be better to replace it with a reference to the past, like in the past. You could instead change this to if your friend ask
