Key Stage 1

Key Stage 1 is the legal term for the two years of schooling in maintained schools in England and Wales normally known as Year 1 and Year 2, when pupils are aged between 5 and 7. This Key Stage normally covers pupils during infant school, although in some cases this might form part of a first or primary school. It is also the label used for the third and fourth years of primary education in Northern Ireland. In Hong Kong, it is used to describe Primary One to Primary Three.

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or stage:

    They have thrown away her electric toothbrush, someone else slips
    The key into the lock of her safety-deposit box
    At the Crocker-Anglo Bank; her seat at the cricket matches
    Is warmed by buttocks less delectable than hers.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    We must be willing to change chairs if we want to grow. There is no permanent compatibility between a chair and a person. And there is no one right chair. What is right at one stage may be restricting at another or too soft. During the passage from one stage to another, we will be between two chairs. Wobbling no doubt, but developing.
    Gail Sheehy (20th century)
