I'm not a primary or secondary school teacher but, looking at an overview of the national curriculum in maths, I'm quite certain that algebra is introduced in KS2.

Equtions aren't in the new NC - algebraic expressions are which is something completely different ...

Algebra (Year 6)
• use simple formulae
• generate and describe linear number sequences
• express missing number problems algebraically
• find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns
• enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables.

So, you do agree that algebra is needed in KS2.
