Year 1 starts at age 4. Foundation Stage Years 1–2, KS1 Years 3–4, KS2 Years 5–7, KS3 Years 8–10, KS4 Years 11–12 (GCSE). Some post-primary schools use academic selection. The transfer tests are not part of the Northern Ireland Curriculum or of CCEA statutory assessment; they are run by separate organisations and families decide whether a child sits them. Check the Department of Education and the test providers for current dates and rules.
