Primary

Cambridge Primary initiates learners into an engaging educational journey, outlining the knowledge and skills they should acquire at each stage of their primary education.

This program is designed to equip learners with the necessary skills to thrive in their primary education and smoothly transition to Cambridge Lower Secondary, the next phase of their learning.

Five Core Elements of a Cambridge Education:

1. International Curriculum
2. Teaching and Learning
3. Assessment
4. International Recognition
5. Global Community

The Cambridge Primary program fosters skills and understanding across a diverse range of subjects, including English, Mathematics, and Science. It is crafted to help schools provide a broad and balanced curriculum that aligns with their unique context, culture, and ethos.

We believe education is most effective when curriculum, teaching and learning, and assessment are closely aligned. Effective teaching and learning require coherence between the curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment. Cambridge Primary is designed with this principle in mind.

The Cambridge Primary Curriculum Frameworks specify the learning objectives for teaching and learning. You can tailor the content to meet your learners’ needs. It is flexible and can be integrated with local and national curricula. Schools can choose to teach as many or as few subjects as they wish.

Each subject is supported by a wide array of high-quality teaching and learning resources and a selection of assessments. These resources are directly aligned with the learning objectives in the Curriculum Frameworks, ensuring coherence across all aspects of the program.

We provide a variety of optional assessments to help you demonstrate and enhance learning:

• Potential: Cambridge CEM baseline and diagnostic assessments, such as InCAS, help measure and benchmark learners’ potential.
• Progress: Cambridge Primary Progression Tests allow you to monitor learners’ progress in Stages 3, 4, 5, and 6. These tests are updated annually and marked in school.
• Achieve: Cambridge Checkpoint tests are used at the end of the Cambridge Primary program to monitor individual and group performance. These tests enable you to compare learners’ performance within their class and against an international benchmark. We handle the marking of these tests.

Cambridge Primary Progression Tests and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint are developed in parallel with the Curriculum Frameworks. This ensures that learners are assessed on the content covered in the classroom.
