Others have beaten me to the punch, but since I have compilable code,
here it is:

%%%
\version "2.22.1"

upperPrimary = \relative c' {
  \repeat unfold 6 { c4 c c c | }
}

lowerPrimary = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  c4 c c c |
  c4 c c c |
  <<
    \new Voice {
      e4 e e e |
      e4 e e e |
    }
    \new Staff \with {
      \remove Time_signature_engraver
      alignBelowContext = "lowerPrimary"
    } {
      \key c \major
      \clef bass
      c4 c c c |
      c4 c c c |
    }
  >>
  c4 c c c |
  c4 c c c |
}

upperSecondary = \relative c' {
  \repeat unfold 6 { c4 c c c | }
}

lowerSecondary = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \repeat unfold 6 { c4 c c c | }
}

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff = "upperPrimary" \upperPrimary
      \new Staff = "lowerPrimary" \lowerPrimary
    >>
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff = "upperSecondary" \upperSecondary
      \new Staff = "lowerSecondary" \lowerSecondary
    >>
  >>
}
%%%
