Year group entry guide
Which year your child joins, and how it maps to the system you know.
THE GUIDE
Year groups are set by your child's age on 1 September of the relevant academic year. If you are used to Standard, Grade or Kindergarten naming, the table below shows how they line up.

|---|---|---|---|---|
3 | Nursery | Nursery | Early Years | English EYFS standards |
4 | Reception | Pre-Kindergarten | Early Years | English EYFS standards |
5 | Year 1 | Kindergarten | Key Stage 1 | English National Curriculum |
6 | Year 2 | Grade 1 | Key Stage 1 | English National Curriculum |
7 | Year 3 | Grade 2 | Key Stage 2 | English National Curriculum |

PLEASE NOTE
Pupils intending to take IGCSEs need to join by Year 10. The two year programme begins there, so a later entry point does not allow the course to be completed.
