Hi, yes :) Page 4 of the L3 STL handbook shows the differences between the UK's 4 home nations

Quote

England

• Key Stage 1 - Years 1 and 2, between the ages of 5 and 7
• Key Stage 2 - Years 3 to 6, between the ages of 7 and 11 years
• Key Stage 3 - Years 7 to 9, between the ages of 11 and 14 years
• Key Stage 4 - Years 10 and 11, between the ages of 14 and 16

Wales
The curiculum is split by a Foundation Phase for pupils from 3 to 7 years, replacing and incorporating Key Stage 1. The rest of the key stages remain the same as for England.

Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, Primary 1 and 2 are ages 4 to 6 and are part of the Foundation Stage. (Not the same as England's Early Years Foundation Stage) In addition:

• Key Stage 1 covers Primary 3 and 4, and ages 6-8
• Key Stage 2 covers primary 5, 6 and 7 and ages 8-11
• Key Stage 3 covers Years 8 to 10, and ages 11-14
• Key Stage 4 covers Years 11 and 12, and ages 14-16

Scotland

• P1 (Early Level) is the equivilent to reception in England, ages 4-5
• P2-P4 (First Level) runs from ages 6-8
• P5-P7 (Second Level) runs from ages 8-11
• S1-S3 (Third/Fourth Level) runs from ages 11-14
• S4-S5 (Senior Phase) runs from ages 14-16

Please check with your tutor to make sure you need to be covering all of these or just the ones that relate to your own home nation/the country you work in ie. England? NI? Wales? or Scotland?
