Editor's Notes
- Cambridge International prepares school students for life, helping them develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning. With the Cambridge Pathway, your child is joining a global community of learners from more than 10000 schools in over 160 countries. By developing a global outlook in Cambridge learners, we aim to equip them for success in the fast-changing modern world. Cambridge International is part of the University of Cambridge and the only exam board that is wholly owned by a world-leading university. They have a 150-year history of providing international exams and are a not-for-profit organisation.
- Cambridge Primary starts your child on an exciting educational journey, setting out what they should be able to do at each stage of their primary schooling. Typically for learners aged 5 and above, our primary programme is part of the Cambridge Pathway. The four stages lead seamlessly from primary to secondary and pre-university years. Each stage builds on the learners’ development from the previous one or from other educational systems.
- Cambridge Primary is built around what matters most to our schools and learners around the world: A broad curriculum for a balanced education: Our programme includes 10 subjects with core subjects such as English, mathematics and science. There are also plenty of opportunities to develop creativity, expression and personal wellbeing through subjects like art, music and physical education. A robust foundation with excellent progression: Each stage of the programme builds on the previous one or from other educational systems, so your child will feel confident that they are ready for the next step of their education. A global learner in a local context: Cambridge Primary helps students discover new abilities and a wider world. Subjects like Cambridge Global Perspectives™ nurture a broad outlook, helping your child to understand their own culture, community and identity as well as those of others in different parts of the world. A flexible approach: Cambridge Primary works alongside our own local curricula, giving your child an international education that fits into their context. An aligned programme based on the latest research: We believe education works best when curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment align. This way, your child can enjoy a richer learning experience and develop as a life-long learner.
- Your child’s needs as a learner are at the heart of our approach to education. This approach helps us to develop learners who are: confident in working with information and ideas – their own and those of others responsible for themselves, responsive to and respectful of others reflective and developing their ability to learn innovative and equipped for new and future challenges engaged intellectually and socially, ready to make a difference…

- Accurately measuring a student’s potential and progress can transform learning and help us to make informed decisions about your child’s learning journey, their educational needs and where to focus our teaching efforts. We can monitor your child’s development through progress checks and assessments that are built into the programme Computer-based assessments to measure and benchmark learners’ potential and identify learning needs. Teachers can assess some subjects in the classroom and discuss with your child ‘what went well’ and how to improve further. Cambridge Primary Progression Tests help teachers understand your child’s strengths throughout the school year and areas where they need more help. These short tests indicate where your child is on their learning journey, instead of just showing right or wrong answers. Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests are marked externally by Cambridge International and can be taken in the final year of Cambridge Primary. Your child will receive a statement of achievement and your school will receive detailed feedback about their performance.
- We believe in an education that takes your child further. That’s why we have designed Cambridge Primary to give students a strong foundation, helping them thrive throughout school, work and life.
