Section 1
The system of education in the UK is mainly divided into four parts, which are the
primary education, secondary education, further education, and lastly, higher education. The
children belonging to the UK tend to lawfully attend the primary and secondary education, which
tends to operate from 5 years old until and unless the student turns to be 16 years old (Craft et
al., 2014). On the other hand, it is to be noted that the system of education in the UK is divided
into key stages which can be classified as the key stage 1, key stage 2, key stage 3 and key stage
4. Children belonging to 5 to 7 years belongs to the key stage 1, the children belonging to the
age group of 7 to 11 years age tend to belong to the key stage 2, the children belonging to the age
group of 11 to 14 years of age tend to belong to the key stage 3 and finally, the children
belonging to the age group of 14 to 16 years old belongs to the key stage 4 (Florian, Black-
Hawkins and Rouse, 2016). It is to be noted that the key stage 1 and the two are commenced at
the primary school. On the other hand, the student with the age group of 11 years tends to move
in the secondary school and complete the key stage of 3 and Key stage 4. The regular school
activity tends to start from 8 am to 9 am and continues till 3 pm or 4 pm. The year of the school
tends to start each year in September and tends to end in the month of July (Webster and
Blatchford, 2013). It can be said that the parents who can afford the expense of the private
schools tends to send the children in private schools which are also known as independent
schools. However, it is to be noted that there is a significant difference between the public and
the private school in the UK. The boarding facility is being provided to the students who belong
to private schools. They tend to have classrooms that are smaller in size, and they often meet the
standards of higher education (Gerver, 2014). During the period of admission, the expense is
mainly paid on the basis of the academic competence of the student or totally on the accessibility

of the facilities of the education. However, it is to be noted that the education of the single-sex is
very much common in secondary schools. However, the majority of children tend to attend
public schools in the UK, which are free of expense. It is however to be noted that the courses
are mainly taught in English. However, in Wales, learning the welsh as a secondary language is
compulsory in schools to the students belonging to the age group of 16. On the other hand, it is
to be noted that the academic institutions in Northern Ireland tend to offer courses in Irish and
Gaelic. However, there are other special individual courses in various languages for the students
who wish to take the courses in their own preferred language. The courses are however, very
much limited and independent. In the primary schools in the UK, the education of thee children
is mainly focused on basic subjects like science, maths, and reading. They also tend to learn
about subjects like history, technology, geography, music, and art. The students can even
participate in physical education and can even take part in education, which is related to
education. It is to be noted that in the sixth year of the education, along with the end of the
second stage of the primary education, the students have the option of taking a test which is
standardized (Green and Kerr, 2018). Children tend to get a sense of social security, social
welfare, and even recreational support from their early age when they tend to attend the primary
schools in the UK.
The primary school, junior school, elementary school, or the grade school in the UK and
Canada is considered to be a school for the children who belong to the age group of four to that
of the eleven. It is in these schools that the children tend to receive a primary or secondary
education. According to the international standard classification of education, primary education
is being considered as the single-phase where programs are being created to give the necessary
talents required in reading, writing, and even mathematics (Adair, Burnside and Pine, 2013) This

is considered to be the ISCED level or the primary education or even the first stage of basic
education. It should, however, be noted that in the majority part of the world, primary education
is considered to be the first stage of obligatory education. This is the kind of education which is
generally available without the cost of any charge. However, it is to be noted that it is also
offered by the independent schools which run or operate through the fees paid by the parents of
the students or the children (Vincent, Neal and Iqbal, 2016).The utilisation of the grade school is
very much prevalent. However, this term tends to refer to both primary education as well as the
secondary education. On the other hand, it is to be noted that the primary school is derived from
the French Ecole primaire, which was firstly utilized as an English text in the year 1802.
However, it is to be noted that the elementary education was being taught in the elementary
schools till the period of 1944. It was during the time when the free elementary education was
being for planned for the students over 11. Primary school is mostly utilized in the United
Kingdom, Ireland and in various nations of the common wealth. (Roberts‐Holmes and Bradbury,
2017). It is also considered to be a preferred term in the publications of the United Nations
educational scientific and in the organizations which are concerned or are related to culture. In
most part of the United States, the primary school tends to refer to the schools that cover
kindergarten via the second grade or the third grade . on the other hand, the elementary school
tends to include the grade three through the five grade or through the grade of four to six.
However, it must be noted that in Canada, the elementary school tends to refer to the grades
belonging to the one through the six, while the kindergarten is being denoted as the preschool.
The role of the primary teacher in the UK is to develop the arrangements of work an even
the lesson plans following the objectives of the curriculum. It is the duty of the primary teacher
to create a bonding with the students by keeping the resources of the learning organized and by
