Changes to Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Lower Secondary

Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary

We are introducing exciting changes.

Our curricula and tests are changing

We are making some exciting changes to our Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary English as a first or second language, mathematics and science curricula and assessments.

It's time to

PREPARE

Start familiarising yourself with the changes by downloading the new Curriculum Frameworks and other materials from our primary or lower secondary support sites:



2021

First NEW TEACHING

We recommend that you begin to teach the new curricula from September 2021 onwards.

The exact date you start will depend on which stage or year group you teach, whether you use Cambridge Progression Tests and/or Checkpoint and when your academic year starts.

Check your relevant start date by viewing our interactive guide at cambridgeinternational. org/primary-lower-secondary-changes

2022

First NEW CAMBRIDGE PROGRESSION TESTS

From 2022 onwards, our new Cambridge Progression Tests will become available every year instead of every three years.

Marked by teachers in your school you can use them to check learners' progress in Stages 3 through to 9.

2023

First NEW CAMBRIDGE CHECKPOINT TESTS

The first new Cambridge Checkpoint tests, to assess learners' knowledge and understanding of the new curricula, will take place in 2023.

Instead of our current model that assesses three stages, these new tests will only apply to the final stage of Cambridge Primary (Stage 6) or Lower Secondary (Stage 9).

Which Stage or year do you teach?

Stage 1-2

Stage 3-9

There are no Cambridge Primary Progression Tests or Checkpoint for Stages 1 or 2, so you can start to teach

the new Curriculum Frameworks when you are ready from 2021.

start to teach the new Curriculum Frameworks depends on whether you use our Cambridge Checkpoint assessments.
