The learning journeys of children and young people will progress
through six Curricular Levels or Stages from the age of 3 to 18
Each of the Levels or Stages generally spans three years.
However, children progress at different rates and some may need
additional support, while others will achieve confident learning
skills sooner.
- The Early Level covers the pre-school years and Primary 1.
- The First Level runs until the end of Primary 4.
- The Second Level runs until the end of Primary 7.
- The Third and Fourth Levels cover from Secondary 1 to S3.
- The Senior Phase runs from S4 to S6 in school and college, or
- other means of study, up until the age of 18.
