WHAT DOES RECEPTION CLASS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Reception (school)

Reception, Primary 1, or FS2 is the first year of primary school in the United Kingdom and South Australia. It is preceded by nursery and is followed by Year One in England and Wales or Primary 2 in Northern Ireland. Pupils in Reception are usually aged between four and five. Children start school either in the term or in the year in which they reach five, depending on the policy of the Local Education Authority. Reception is the final part of the Foundation Stage of education. Most areas admit entire year groups in September, regardless of which month they were born in, meaning that some pupils will be starting primary school in the month of their fifth birthday, while others will be 11 months away from this milestone. Other areas admit Reception pupils in the term of their fifth birthday, while some admit pupils in September if they were born between September and February, and in January if they were born between March and August. There is no reception year in Scotland as children progress directly from Nursery to Primary 1 in the August nearest their fifth birthday.
