7. Infant and junior schools

Infant schools

Infant schools are for children aged between 4 and 7 years.

Junior schools

Most junior schools cater for pupils moving from infant schools from the September following their seventh birthday. Pupils join in Year 3, and stay at the school for four years, leaving at the end of Year 6 when most pupils are aged 11.
