There's such a huge range, especially if you include overnight.

Our youngest was definitely still having plenty of accidents at that age, often one a day at nursery. A few months on and she's fine now.

I’m a primary school teacher.

The answer to your question is Year 1 (age 5 & 6).

In a reception class (of 4 & 5 year olds) you’ll probably get an average of 1-2 pairs of wet pants each day. By year 1 wetting accidents happen rarely for most children and you might go a whole month, or longer, with none. That said, if you are taking Year 1 (or Year 2) on a school trip you ALWAYS take spare clothes.
