In England we have,

foundation stage(3-5 including a reception class- only reception are full time)

Key stage 1 - infants, age 5-7 (year 1 & 2)

Key stage 2 - juniors, age 7 - 11 (year 3,4,5 & 6)

key stage 3 - secondary school, 11 -

I get lost at that point can anyone finish that for me?

    For grades 6th through 9th, the reason for the different types of schooling depends on the district and how the grades are clustered in the schools.

    An elementary school may go from Pre-K to 5th or 6th.

    Middle schools are 6th to 8th.

    Intermediate schools are 7th to 8th.

    Junior High schools are 7th to 9th.

    High schools are 9th or 10th to 12th.

    The Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years refers to 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th grades respectfully.
