School Years

[nicki]

Do kiddies start school in year 1 at age 5, then go to year 2 at age 6 etc etc?
Its just the school in the village we will be moving to is a junior school & it says they teach children from year 3 to year 6???

Couldn't have put it any clearer than Tracy....my youngest step-child is just finishing up year 11 (and off to the Army this summer) - where does time go?

some schools dont have the capacity to have all age ranges, there is one in my hometown that caters for ages 3 - 11yrs but has 2 seperate buildings. 1 for 3-5yrs and 1 for 5-11yrs. they are all on the same street but spread out in different buildings. hth xxxx
