A British English term for a primary school that caters to children roughly between the ages of seven and eleven — typically years three through six in the English school system. Junior school follows infant school and precedes secondary school, occupying the middle stretch of compulsory early education. While not slang in the traditional sense, it's a firmly regional term that confuses people used to American grade-school terminology and remains the everyday word British parents, teachers, and kids actually use.
