What is the primary education in the UK?

Primary education in the UK typically caters to children aged 4 to 11 and is divided into two stages: Key Stage 1 (ages 5-7) and Key Stage 2 (ages 7-11). It is compulsory for children to attend school from the age of 5. The curriculum focuses on core subjects such as English, mathematics, and science, along with foundation subjects like art and physical education. Primary education is provided by a mix of state-funded schools, academies, and independent schools.
