What is the Primary Cambridge Curriculum?

The Primary Cambridge Curriculum is a comprehensive and flexible framework for children aged 5 to 11 years old, covering Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 of the British education system. It is designed to develop not only academic knowledge but also the skills that children need to thrive in an increasingly complex world. The curriculum is underpinned by a strong focus on both core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science, and a diverse range of co-curricular subjects like Social Studies, Art, and Music.

At Woodlem British School, we offer the Cambridge Primary Curriculum, which is carefully tailored to meet the needs of each individual child. The approach fosters inquiry-based learning, encourages creativity, and promotes critical thinking, enabling our students to not only excel in their studies but also develop a genuine enthusiasm for learning.

Key Features of Our Primary Cambridge Curriculum

A Holistic Approach to Learning: Our Primary Cambridge Curriculum ensures that students receive a well-rounded education, which emphasizes the development of academic and personal skills. By focusing on holistic development, we strive to nurture each child’s unique abilities and encourage them to explore their interests and passions. This approach is particularly evident in our emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to work collaboratively with peers.
Core Subjects: Foundation for Future Success: The Cambridge Primary Curriculum focuses on building a strong academic foundation in the following core areas:
- English: Reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills are developed through a wide range of engaging activities, including storytelling, group discussions, creative writing, and grammar exercises. We place a strong emphasis on literacy, ensuring that children develop excellent communication skills and a passion for reading.
- Mathematics: Mathematics at Woodlem is taught through a practical and engaging approach. Students are introduced to key concepts like number operations, geometry, measurement, and data handling. They learn to apply these skills in real-life contexts, developing a deep understanding of mathematical reasoning.
- Science: Our science curriculum is hands-on and encourages students to explore the world around them. From experiments in the classroom to learning about the natural world, students develop a solid understanding of biology, physics, and chemistry while cultivating a sense of curiosity and discovery.
Comprehensive and Creative Subject Offerings: In addition to core subjects, the Cambridge Primary Curriculum includes a diverse range of subjects designed to stimulate students’ creativity, critical thinking, and cultural understanding.
Inquiry-Based Learning: A key feature of the Cambridge Primary Curriculum is its focus on inquiry-based learning, where students take the lead in their learning process by asking questions, researching answers, and engaging in hands-on activities. This approach encourages students to think critically and independently, building essential skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.
Assessment for Learning: Regular assessments form an integral part of our teaching strategy, allowing us to monitor each student’s progress and identify areas for improvement. The Cambridge Primary Curriculum utilizes both formal assessments and formative assessments—such as observations, peer reviews, and project-based work—enabling teachers to provide personalized feedback and support.
Global Perspective and Cultural Awareness: With over 60 nationalities represented in our school, the Cambridge Primary Curriculum fosters a sense of global citizenship and respect for cultural diversity. Students engage in international projects, learn about global issues, and gain exposure to different cultures, helping them develop a well-rounded, global perspective.
