In the Primary Years at RVS International Academy, we offer a rich educational experience through the Cambridge Primary curriculum, which provides a comprehensive foundation for academic and personal growth.
Cambridge Primary Curriculum
Curriculum Structure
The Cambridge Primary curriculum is designed for children aged 5 to 11 and spans from Key Stages 1 to 2. It covers core subjects including English, Mathematics, and Science, as well as opportunities for creative subjects such as Art, Music, and Physical Education. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and inquiry-based learning, fostering a love for discovery and learning.
Integrated Approach
We blend the Cambridge Primary curriculum with best practices from various educational philosophies to create an engaging and holistic learning environment. This approach ensures that children receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for future academic challenges.
Assessment and Progression
1. Formative Assessments: Ongoing formative assessments are used to monitor students’ progress and adapt instruction to meet individual needs. Teachers conduct regular observations and evaluations to provide timely feedback and support.
2. Progression Tests: Throughout the academic year, students participate in progression tests designed to assess their understanding and application of key concepts. These tests help identify areas where additional support may be needed and ensure that students are on track with their learning objectives.
3. Achievement Tests: At the end of each academic year, students take achievement tests to evaluate their overall progress and mastery of the curriculum. These tests provide a comprehensive overview of their strengths and areas for improvement, guiding further instruction and support.
4. Benchmarking and Reporting: We use Cambridge Primary’s benchmark assessments to measure student performance against international standards. Detailed reports are provided to parents, highlighting their child’s achievements and areas for growth, ensuring transparency and fostering a collaborative approach to education.
