Upton I 95 School entry/Cultural psychology/Upton: In the UK, school entry usually happens at around the ages of four or five; in other parts of Europe it may be as late as seven years; and in America school entry is usually between the ages of five and six years. There is a lot of debate concerning the ‘right’ age at which children should start school.
