About the Cambridge Pathway
The Cambridge Pathway
helps l
e
a
r
n
e
r
sbe ready for the world,
offering five stages of education
from age 3 to 19, leading
seamlessly from early years to
pre-university. Each stage builds
on the previous one and further
shapes learners' knowledge,
understanding and skills.
As an approved Cambridge school,
we can select which stages to
offer our students and choose
from a broad range of subjects.
This means we can design a
curriculum that meets our needs
and excites our students. Every
stage – Cambridge Early Years,
Primary, Lower Secondary,
Upper Secondary and
Advanced – helps prepare
learners to thrive in and outside
the classroom, and at university
and beyond.
Typically for students aged 16 to 1
9
years, Cambridge International
AS & A Level is the final stage on
the Cambridge Pathway.

4. A love of learning
The programme is built around what
matters most to your child as they
progress through their education.
• Choose from a range of 55 subjects,
meaning they can study what they enjoy
and are good at.
• Develop a deep understanding of the
subjects as well as independent learning
and critical thinking skills – abilities that
universities value highly.
• Cambridge International AS & A Level is
a two-year course, though students can
complete AS Level in one year.

best when curriculum, teaching and
learning, resources and assessment
are closely aligned and encourage
personal growth and wellbeing.
• We can support your child – by
providing additional guidance to build
understanding and confidence, or
offering stretch and challenge, helping
them to reach their potential and
thrive.

Fair and meaningful assessments
for every student
Cambridge works hard to make
s
u
r
ethat their assessments are fair
for all students in every country
– especially as many learners
are non-native English
speakers. This means using
simple language and layouts, as
well as clear command words.
Assessment takes place at the e
n
d
of the course. Your child will be
assessed in different ways,
including written, oral,
coursework and practical
options, giving them the best
opportunity to demonstrate their
knowledge and skills, especially
if English is not their first
language. Cambridge
International A Level is graded
A* to E. Cambridge International
AS Level is graded A to E.
Cambridge International AS & A
L
e
v
e
l
sfollow a linear assessment
model, with exams at the end of
the course. This gives your child
more time to develop a deeper
understanding of their subject.
