primary school
Where children start
Primary school is a school for young children, typically covering the first several years of formal education.
In British usage, it includes ages roughly five to eleven.
In American English, the term overlaps with elementary school, though primary school sometimes refers specifically to the earliest grades: My daughter just started primary school.
