Junior Cambridge

Cambridge Primary Mathematics (0096)

Maths helps us to think analytically and have better reasoning abilities. Our primary mathematics curriculum encourages life-long enthusiasm for analytical and rational thinking.

What will students learn?

Learners develop a holistic understanding of the subject, focussing on principles, patterns, systems, functions and relationships. They will become mathematically competent and fluent in computation, which they can apply to everyday situations.

‘Thinking and working mathematically’, a unique feature of our curriculum, encourages learners to talk with others, challenge ideas and to provide evidence that validates conjectures and solutions. When learners are thinking and working mathematically, they actively seek to make sense of ideas and build connections between different facts, procedures and concepts. This supports higher order thinking that helps them to view the world in a mathematical way.

How is the programme taught?

We have divided this subject into three main areas called ‘strands’, which run through every primary mathematics stage. Learners will develop skills in:

Number
Geometry and Measure
Statistics and Probability.

The strands work together to help students recognise connections of mathematical concepts as they engage in creative mathematical thinking to generate and improve numerical fluency.

Cambridge Primary Science (0097)

Our exciting new primary science curriculum helps learners develop a life-long curiosity about the natural world and enables them to seek scientific explanations to the phenomena around them.

What will students learn?

Students will think scientifically and develop practical skills alongside knowledge and understanding, which is vital for explaining the world around us. Improving learners’ awareness of science in the world around them develops their sense that ‘science is for me’, helping to connect themselves to the subject.

This approach provides them with the knowledge and skills they require to excel at science in later stages of education and to make informed choices, including considering sustainability issues and meeting the challenges facing our environment.

How is the programme taught?

This curriculum covers six main areas called ‘strands’ that work together so that you can teach science holistically:

Biology – living things and how they interact.
Chemistry – the study of matter.
Physics – the interaction of matter and energy.
Earth and Space – planet Earth, the wider Solar System and beyond.
Thinking and Working Scientifically – develops understanding and skills of scientific models and representations, scientific enquiry and practical work.
Science in Context – helps teachers demonstrate the relevance of science to learners and unique to our science curriculum.

Cambridge Primary English as a Second Language (0057)

Our new English as a Second Language curriculum empowers even the youngest learners to communicate confidently and effectively. It helps them to develop the skills needed to respond to a range of information, media and texts. The programme promotes active learning, develops thinking skills and encourages intellectual engagement.

This subject is for learners who speak a language other than English at home - there is no expectation that they will have prior experience of English before starting this course. We have based the curriculum on the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), used across the world to map learners’ progress in English.

What will students learn?

This curriculum develops learners’ curiosity about other languages and cultures, and how these shape our perceptions of the world. They will see themselves as successful language learners, be able to communicate effectively and become confident in and enjoy reading a range of texts as their skills develop.

How is the programme taught?

This framework supports an integrated approach to planning and teaching to develop effective communication skills in English. The five strands, and their respective learning objectives, work together to support the development of knowledge, skills and understanding in:

Reading
Writing
Use of English
Listening
Speaking.
