Principal Academics

The Checkpoint examination at the end of Cambridge Primary (CP6) and Lower Secondary (LS3) is an important milestone in your child’s learning journey. Cambridge states that these assessments provide an international benchmark of performance, helping schools, parents and learners to identify strengths and areas for improvement as they prepare for the next stage. Please note that participation in the Checkpoint examination is voluntary. 

Our internal examinations, which are more holistic and cover all subject areas, will remain the primary basis for assessing student progress and promotion to the next grade. As we prepare for this period, we would like to know your intentions regarding your child’s participation, so that we can make the necessary arrangements. Please fill out the form

Pastoral Care, Mentoring and Well-being

As part of building a positive learning environment, we are encouraging all students to use good and appropriate language both in and out of the classroom. The words our children use reflect not only their character but also the values we nurture at home and in school.

We kindly ask for your support in guiding your child to:

·         Speak respectfully to teachers, peers, and family members.

·         Avoid the use of offensive or hurtful words.

·         Practice polite expressions such as “please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me.”

·         Choose words that build others up rather than bring them down.

Together, we can help our children develop habits of kindness, respect, and responsibility in the way they communicate.

STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS

We would like to encourage you to support the children  taking part in school leadership opportunities, such as the Student Council. These roles are more than just titles—they play an important part in shaping your child’s future.

Here’s why school leadership matters:

1. Builds Confidence – Taking on responsibilities helps students believe in themselves and speak up for what is right.

2. Teaches Responsibility – Leadership roles show students how to manage tasks, make decisions, and be accountable.

3. Develops Communication Skills – Students learn how to express ideas clearly and listen to others respectfully.

4. Encourages Teamwork – They learn to work with others, solve problems together, and value different opinions.

5. Prepares for the Future – Skills gained through leadership are the same ones needed in careers, community service, and adult life.

Your encouragement now can give your child the confidence to step forward, try new challenges, and grow into a responsible leader of tomorrow.

We are thrilled to announce that twenty-six our students will be representing the school at the Model United Nations Conference at Baobab College happening this Saturday 20th September! This exciting event offers them a chance to engage in global debates, sharpen their leadership skills, and experience diplomacy in action. 

We are confident they will shine as they take on the roles of world leaders and we wish our delegates the very best as they step onto the big stage of ideas and collaborative problem solving on world issues!.

We had a fantastic time during our recent FC Tournament, which brought together both junior and senior players in a fun and competitive atmosphere. The tournament highlighted not only great gaming skills but also teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship among our students.

In the Senior Division, after several tightly contested matches, Omar Saad rose to the top and was crowned Champion. His consistency, quick thinking, and composure under pressure set him apart from the competition.

In the Junior Division, Kasehela Mukuwa emerged as the Champion, demonstrating excellent skill and determination throughout the matches. His energy and focus made him a standout player in the tournament.

We also want to commend all participants for their enthusiasm and commitment. Every student contributed to the lively spirit of the event, making it enjoyable for both players and spectators.

A special thank you goes out to our parents for supporting their children and encouraging participation in this tournament. Your involvement makes these events meaningful and memorable.
