Primary education in the UK covers ages 5-11 (England) and ages 5-12 (Scotland). It provides a broad foundation in literacy, numeracy, science, and other key subjects, following different curricula in each nation.
Both systems aim to develop well-rounded learners and prepare them for secondary education (S1 in Scotland, Year 7 in England).

Key Stage 2 (KS2) (Ages 7–11): Subjects expand to include science, history, geography, and computing. -
Assessment: Students take SATs (Standard Assessment Tests) in Year 2 (KS1) and Year 6 (KS2) to assess progress before secondary school.
Scotland (Ages 5-12)
