The Primary Department offers an enriching and inclusive educational setting where students are empowered to achieve academic excellence, foster vital life skills,

and cultivate their roles as conscientious global citizens, all within the framework of the Cambridge Primary Programme. Implemented in more than 160 nations worldwide,

this curriculum emphasizes involvement in global themes, encourages critical thinking, and ignites a love for learning among children. 

Curriculum

The Cambridge Primary curriculum, developed by Cambridge Assessment International Education, offers a thorough framework aimed at laying a strong educational foundation for children aged 5 to 11.

Its goal is to cultivate students who exhibit confidence, responsibility, reflection, innovation, and active engagement.

 





Core Subjects

Languages:

Arabic

Teaching Arabic as a first language at our primary school level is an opportunity to immerse students in their home language, thus, fostering a strong foundation in language proficiency, literacy, and cultural identity.

English

Our Cambridge Primary English curriculum empowers learners in their application of English, and encourages life-long enthusiasm for reading, writing, listening and spoken communication. It develops communication skills in English that learners can apply in everyday situations and in study. It also equips them with transferrable language skills for interrogating and producing spoken and written texts, and working collaboratively. Together the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills acquired through Cambridge Primary English support learners’ overall intellectual, creative and social development. 

French

Teaching French as a third language at our primary school level offers students an opportunity to explore a new language and culture, broadening their linguistic horizons and preparing them for global citizenship. 

 

Mathematics

Cambridge Primary Mathematics fosters a lifelong passion for analytical and rational thinking. Students cultivate a comprehensive grasp of the discipline, emphasizing fundamental principles, recurring patterns, intricate systems, functional aspects, and interconnected relationships. Through this approach, students attain proficiency and fluency in mathematical computation, empowering them to adeptly apply these skills in real-world contexts. 

Science

Cambridge Primary Science supports learners in developing life-long curiosity about the natural world and enables them to seek scientific explanations to the phenomena around them. Learners will develop a holistic approach to science by considering scientific thinking and practical skills alongside knowledge and understanding which is vital for explaining the world around us. This approach provides learners with the knowledge and skills they require to access and excel at science in later phases of education and to make informed choices, including considering sustainability issues and meeting the challenges facing our environment. 

Global Perspective

Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives develops transferable skills that support learners in their studies and in their everyday life. Learners develop skills through age-appropriate and engaging activities that are based on a broad range of topics. They explore personal, local and global perspectives to make sense of, and feel connected to, the world around them. Learners start to express their own opinions and develop an understanding that there is always more than one point of view. 












Physical Education

Physical education is a vital part of a balanced school curriculum. Regular exercise improves both physical and mental health and there is growing evidence that it improves academic performance across the curriculum. Establishing good patterns of exercise in primary schools also provides learners with the foundation of an active and healthy lifestyle for life. 

Information and Communication Technology 

At our primary school level, students learn the use of digital technology to manage and process information, communicate, and access resources. Our ICT lessons are designed to enhance teaching and learning, facilitate access to educational resources, promote digital literacy, and prepare students for success in the digital age. 

Art, Drama, Music 

Art, drama, and music lessons at our primary school level provide outlets for children to express themselves creatively and imaginatively. Through painting, drawing, acting, singing, and playing musical instruments, children can explore their emotions, thoughts, and ideas in unique and meaningful ways. 

 

Assessments

The Cambridge Primary curriculum includes both formative and summative assessments to monitor student progress and inform teaching and learning. Formative assessments provide ongoing feedback to support student learning, while summative assessments measure achievement against learning objectives. Different assessment methods are used during our lessons such as peer assessment, self-assessment and observation. 

Assemblies and Plays

Assemblies and plays in primary schools offer students valuable opportunities for self-expression, collaboration, and creativity. They enable students to express themselves authentically, develop communication skills, and work effectively in teams. Additionally, these experiences enrich students' understanding of literature, culture, and history. Overall, assemblies and plays contribute significantly to students' holistic development, fostering confidence, empathy, and academic enrichment.
