Our Approach To Primary Education
A broad curriculum for a balanced education
With a choice of 10 subjects, a wide range of support and optional assessments, to help deliver core subjects as well as develop creativity, expression and wellbeing. A range of subjects makes sure that teaching and learning appeal to many different students and prepares them for future learning by introducing them to new topics. A stimulating and varied curriculum, which challenges and inspires students to be lifelong learners.
A robust foundation with excellent progression
Cambridge Primary provides a strong foundation for students at the beginning of their schooling before progressing through the Cambridge Pathway in an age-appropriate way. We need to make sure that even the youngest students are learning the right things at the right time. We provide curriculum frameworks with progression grids to show the sequencing of learning aligns from stage to stage. Students will be familiar with content and skills from the previous stage and well prepared for the next.
A global learner in a local context
Cambridge Primary encourages learners to understand their own culture, community and identity within the wider world. We want to celebrate local culture while helping learners to discuss global issues. Activities in our schemes of work are internationally focused but they can be applied in all local contexts so that learners can develop a broad outlook.
A flexible approach
Cambridge Primary is flexible, to build a programme that adapts to learners’ needs and works with local context. Our programme covers six years of learning and can be integrated with local and national curricula. Also, our range of assessment options helps you to choose the approach that works best for our learners.
An aligned programme based on the latest research
We make sure that the programme, from curriculum to teaching, learning and assessment, is aligned and informed by the latest research. Subject experts and leading specialists develop our curricula using our own and subject-specific research. We critically review every learning objective through the lens of curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment. Aligning these four areas puts learners in the best possible position for the future and leads to a richer learning experience.
