Schooling in South Africa
2 Answers
Please can someone tell me how the grades work in South Africa and how they relate to UK school years.
Does Grade 6 = Year 6?
Specifically, I know of a Grade 6 child aged 11 coming to the UK. Does she go into Year 7 as she is already 11, or has she dropped a year somewhere along her life?
I'd appreciate a prompt answer as I'm trying to send an email and I can't find the info on the internet. Thanks!

If the girl's 12th birthday will be on or after 1st September, she will be placed into Year 6.
