Let G be a primitive permutation group on a finite set Ω, and, for k ⩾ 2, let G ( k ) be the k ‐closure of G , that is, the largest subgroup of Sym (Ω) preserving all the G ‐invariant k ‐relations on Ω. Suppose that G < H ⩽ G ( k ) and G and H have different socles. It is shown that k ⩽5 and the groups G and H are classified explicitly.
