Princess Charlotte has a major year ahead, and we’re not just talking about turning eight. Turns out, the only daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton will reach two major milestones during this upcoming academic year.
According to Hello! Magazine, the 6-year-old will be heading into her Year 2. The U.K.’s Year 2, which is for children 6 to 7 years old, marks the last year of lower-level primary school—that’s pretty much the equivalent to our last year of elementary school.
Per Hello!, U.K. primary schools are sometimes divided into two stages, Years 1 to 2 and Years 3 to 6. The first two years are also referred to as infant or lower levels, while the older group is known as junior level. According to Oxford Owl, Year 2 sees “continued focus on phonics” and children are “introduced to fractions.”
And that’s not all. Hello! reports students in their second year also take SATs (not those kinds, don’t worry). These tests—called Standard Assessment Tests—are given both at the end of Year 2 and Year 6 to evaluate children’s academic progress.
