CAMBRIDGE PRIMARY

Our nursery’s main goal is to help our students to develop their intellectual and social skills in an environment that is fun and that they feel safe and secure in. While doing so we also aim to create a positive outlook and desire to learn that will last all through their education. During this time, while teaching the students to adjust to new situations, we also teach them how and when to meet their needs of personal development, using methods that stimulate the child in an effective and fun way.

During this critical period the most important thing is to develop the student’s basic skills. Our teachers have been trained to teach in many methods to bring all skills to the best of their potential. As it should be, any achievements of our students are praised and rewarded in an appropriate manner. With this in mind we have two teachers in class at all time watching and interacting with the students. While planning and designing our facilities we have kept in mind the needs of the students and how the facilities will help them develop their intellectual, physical, social and emotional skills. Understanding and support are fundamentals to our disciple system that will help the students to understand the importance of appropriate behaviour.

Moving into Reception class the students begin Cambridge Primary for learners aged 5 to 11 years. It develops learner skills and understanding through the primary years in English, mathematics and science.

Cambridge Primary provides a flexible framework which we can use to tailor the curriculum to our needs. We provide assessment tools to help identify what children are learning, monitor their progress and report to parents. Cambridge Primary is an excellent preparation for Cambridge Secondary 1.

Our curriculum

• Sets clear learning objectives in English, mathematics and science for each year of primary education
• Focuses on developing knowledge and skills in core subjects which form an excellent foundation for future study
• Focuses on learners' development in each year
• Provides a natural progression throughout the years of primary education 
• Is compatible with other curricula, internationally relevant and sensitive to different needs and cultures 
• Provides schools with international benchmarks.

Cambridge Primary Checkpoint:

• Is a test for learners at the end of the final year of Cambridge Primary and is available in English, mathematics and science.
• Tests skills, knowledge and understanding at the end of stages 4–6 of the curriculum for English and mathematics, and stages 3–6 of the curriculum for science
• Is marked by Cambridge to provide an international benchmark of learner performance
• Gives learners a statement of achievement at the end of the Cambridge Primary stage
• Shows how a learner has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all learners who have taken tests in that series around the world.
