Cambridge Secondary - a clear path for learners aged 11 to 14 years

A broad curriculum for a balanced education

With over 10 subjects to choose from, including English, Mathematics and Science, the programme provides your child with a clear path for the next stage of education, as well as plenty of opportunities to develop creativity, expression and personal wellbeing in a variety of ways.

A clear path to progress, step by step

Throughout the programme, each stage builds on the previous one, so your child will feel confident that they are ready for the next step as they progress through the lower secondary years.

Cambridge Lower Secondary works alongside local and national curricula, with an international education.

Flexible, meaningful assessments

Cambridge Lower Secondary Progression Tests help teachers understand your child’s strengths throughout the school year and areas where they need more help. These short tests indicate where your child is on their learning journey, instead of just showing right or wrong answers.

are marked externally by Cambridge, and can be taken in the final year of Cambridge Lower Secondary. Your child will receive a statement of achievement with detailed feedback of performance. It helps teachers gain deeper understanding of learners’ strengths, weaknesses and potential.

A global learning community

With Cambridge Lower Secondary, your child is joining a global community made up of over 10 000 Cambridge schools in 160 countries, each delivering education that shapes learners’ knowledge, understanding and skills. By working with our wider community, your teachers can connect with other schools to share best practice that can help to shape your child’s knowledge, understanding and skills. Your child will develop the confidence they need to thrive and make a positive impact in a changing world.

Learning with lasting impact

We recognise that meaningful education is more than just building subject knowledge and conceptual understanding. For Cambridge Lower Secondary learners to thrive throughout their schooling, we believe that they must also develop a broad range of skills, values, attitudes and behaviours. When we design our lower secondary curricula, assessments and resources we include opportunities to help your child become a reflective and innovative learner with the confidence to embrace new information, ideas and challenges.
