Cambridge Primary

Our dynamic curriculum for ages 6 to 11, rooted in Cambridge Primary, broadens horizons even further. Through reflective learning, project-based activities, and real-world problem-solving, our students develop confidence and responsibility at a young age.

Developing the Cambridge Learner Attributes

The concept of a ‘Cambridge learner’ helps us communicate attributes we believe are important for learners in the modern world. We recognise that a meaningful curriculum is more than a collection of subjects. Learners need to develop a set of academic skills, life skills and attitudes to be successful. Cambridge learners are:

Confident in working with information and ideas – their own and those of others

Responsible for themselves, responsive to and respectful of others

Reflective as learners, developing their ability to learn

Innovative and equipped for new and future challenges

Engaged intellectually and socially, ready to make a difference

Five elements lie at the heart of a Cambridge education: international curriculum, teaching and learning, assessment, international recognition and global community.

International curriculum

We offer a wide range of subjects and give schools flexibility in how to offer them. We support schools in developing a curriculum that suits their context, culture and ethos, and that they can tailor to their students’ needs.

Teaching and learning

We provide professional development for teachers, to help them improve their performance and practice throughout their careers. We encourage teaching practices that develop the ability of students to reflect on their learning.

Assessment

We design our assessments to be fair, valid, reliable and practicable. We assess what we know to be of value: deep subject knowledge, conceptual understanding, and higher level thinking skills. Our flexible assessment structure maximises time for teaching and learning.

International recognition

Our qualifications are widely recognised by universities and employers. Cambridge students can be confident that their qualifications will be understood and valued throughout their education and career, in their home country and internationally.

Global community

Cambridge schools belong to a worldwide education community. We support professional learning communities which connect teachers around the world so that we can share views, information and resources, and learn from one another.

Tackling the climate crisis

We believe that education is key to tackling the climate crisis. Together, with Cambridge schools, we can empower young people with the skills and knowledge to take action on climate change, helping them be ready for the world.
