year six

Last elementary grade

Year six is the final year of primary school in the British education system, typically for children aged ten to eleven.

Students in year six prepare for the transition to secondary school and often sit standardized assessments: My daughter's in year six, so she's doing her SATs this spring.

The term is primarily British; American schools use "sixth grade" but count differently, placing it in middle school rather than elementary.
