Primary Curriculum and The Nigeria Studies Syllabus
What is Cambridge Primary?
Cambridge Primary is an international education programme, typically for young learners aged 5 to 11 years and is used in primary schools around the world. It develops young learners who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engage.
Cambridge Primary Curriculum
The Cambridge Primary Curriculum is founded on the values of the University of Cambridge and the best practice in schools. Each framework for English, Mathematics, and Science is designed to engage learners in an active and creative learning journey while providing a comprehensive set of progressive learning objectives. The objectives detail what the learner should know or what they should be able to do in each year of primary education. They provide a structure for teaching and learning and a reference against which learners' ability and understanding can be checked. The Cambridge Primary Curriculum promotes an inquiry-based approach to learning to develop thinking skills and encourage intellectual engagement.

Cambridge Primary Assessment
Cambridge Primary assessment uses internationally benchmarked tests, giving parents extra trust in the feedback they receive. There are two assessment options:
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests skills, knowledge, and understanding at the end of the primary programme in English as a first or second language, Maths, and Science.
The tests are marked in Cambridge to provide an international benchmark of learner performance. Learners receive a statement of achievement and a diagnostic feedback report. Feedback reports show how a learner has performed in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all learners who have taken tests in that series around the world.
