Cambridge offers education for learners aged 5 to 19.
There are four stages: Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Secondary 1, Cambridge Secondary 2 and Cambridge Advanced. Each stage builds on your child’s development in the previous one. The age ranges shown on the diagram are for guidance only.
Cambridge is flexible:
Schools can offer Cambridge programmes and qualifications for learners at every stage from 5 to 19 years. Or a school can focus on a specific stage – for example, a school can choose to offer only Cambridge Primary or only Cambridge Secondary 2.
Cambridge programmes and qualifications are compatible with other curricula, so schools can build a curriculum to suit the needs and abilities of their students.
Cambridge offers comprehensive support to schools to help us deliver the best possible education to students.
