The school attended by most children aged 5-11 is which type?

Primary is the type that fits ages 5–11. In the UK, primary education covers the early school years—from around five when children usually start Year 1 to about eleven when they finish Year 6. Nursery is for younger children before five, and secondary comes after primary, starting around eleven. Grammar schools are a type of secondary school, often selective. So for 5–11-year-olds, the primary level is the correct fit.
