01  EYFS Introduction

Early Years Foundation Stage (Pre-Nursery, Nursery & Reception, Age 2-5)

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of your child from 2 to 5 years old.

EYFS has seven areas of learning and development:

02  Primary Introduction

Cambridge Primary (Year 1-6, Age 5-11)

Cambridge Primary starts learners on an exciting educational journey. For 5 to 11 year olds, it provides a strong foundation for students at the beginning of their schooling before progressing through the Cambridge Pathway in an age-appropriate way.

03 Secondary Introduction 

Cambridge Lower Secondary (Year 7-9, Age 11-14)

Cambridge Lower Secondary is for learners aged 11 to 14 years. It helps prepare students for the next step of their education, providing a clear path as they progress through the Cambridge Pathway in an age-appropriate way.

Cambridge Upper Secondary (Year 10-11, Age 14-16) - IGCSE

Cambridge Upper Secondary is typically for learners aged 14 to 16 years. It offers learners a route through the Cambridge IGCSE. Cambridge Upper Secondary builds on the foundations of Cambridge Lower Secondary, although learners do not need to complete that stage before this one.

The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an English language examination, offered to students to prepare them for A Level or further international studies. Students begin learning the syllabus at the beginning of Year 10 and take the exam at the end of Year 11.

Cambridge International AS & A Level (Year 12-13, Age 16-19)

Post Year 11 students (i.e. 16 – 19 year olds) can study Advanced Supplementary (AS) and Advanced Level (A levels) examinations in preparation for University Entrance. There will be a choice of subjects and the individual programmes of the students will be discussed with the students, their parents and the teaching staff to meet the needs of the individual. The Cambridge Board Examinations are internationally recognized and accepted as a gold standard for entry to universities world-wide.
