Primary Programme

Our Primary programme at Heritage House Schools builds on the pre-school experience, and reflects the child’s new stage of development. Heritage House Schools  are Cambridge International Associate Schools, and employ the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP), a curriculum that is rich in content and used in over 150 countries of the world. CIPP delivers a broad and balanced world class curriculum that is adaptable to our context, culture and ethos as a school. With clear learning objectives and development of knowledge and skills, it develops children who are confident, reflective, innovative, engaged and take responsibility for their learning. The CIPP Checkpoint tests provide an international benchmark of learner performance in relation to the curriculum, their learning group, the whole school, and against all learners who have taken the same tests in that series around the world.

English

Running through Years 1 – 6, the curriculum framework for English is broken down into Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening. Pupils are helped to acquire knowledge, obtain necessary skills and gain understanding of concepts.

SCIENCE

In preparation for higher learning, the Cambridge Primary Science curriculum framework covers four content areas, namely – Scientific Enquiry, Biology, Chemistry, & Physics. Through the Cambridge Science curriculum our pupils begin to participate in investigative science from an early age. They consider ideas, evaluate evidence, record and analyse their data. This kindles their interest for scientific knowledge and builds in them the confidence to explore their environment, thus becoming more aware and better informed about their world.

MATHEMATICS

Building on the Montessori Early Childhood curriculum and a foundation of concrete learning with Montessori Math materials, Cambridge Primary Mathematics expands the mathematical minds of our pupils through work in five content areas – Number, Geometry, Measure, Handling data & Problem solving.

ASSESSMENTS

Cambridge Checkpoint

Our Year 6 pupils are assessed in the core subject areas  in the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint (CPC) examinations.

Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM)

Children from ages 5 – 11 are tested annually using the CEM tests from the University of Durham/ Cambridge. 

These internationally benchmarked tests : 

  • Identify and report on a pupil’s strengths and weaknesses, in order to make targeted improvements to teaching and learning on a year-by-year basis
  • Compare a pupil’s result against their class, school or other schools around the world.
  • Assure parents of their child’s true ability and trust in the feedback they receive on their child’s performance.

Internal Assessment

Pupils are assessed half- termly in all subjects.

Reporting

Parents receive a written report every half-term in addition to the formal half termly Parent- Teacher meeting. Parents and teachers are encouraged to communicate any concerns they might have at the earliest opportunity.
