Well-structured learning
One of the primary strengths of the Cambridge Primary Curriculum is its clear structure and progression.
The curriculum is designed as a spiral, meaning that learning builds logically from year to year. This structure ensures that students revisit key concepts at increasing levels of complexity, deepening their understanding over time.
Teachers are supported with well-defined learning objectives, which makes it easier to identify student progress, assess gaps, and scaffold support effectively. The content is developmentally appropriate, ensuring that students are challenged without being overwhelmed.
A great emphasis on core competencies
At Mayfair, we understand the importance of focusing on core competencies. The Cambridge Primary Curriculum places particular emphasis on English, Mathematics, and Science, offering a solid academic foundation.
These subjects are taught not only for knowledge acquisition but also to develop critical thinking and conceptual understanding. Subjects such as Digital Literacy, Art, and Global Perspectives, support a broad and balanced education, giving students opportunities to explore different disciplines.
Fostering intercultural awareness
The curriculum promotes intercultural awareness, encouraging students to explore different cultures, perspectives, and ideas. This helps develop open-mindedness and empathy—key traits for children growing up in an increasingly interconnected world.
Although it is internationally benchmarked, it remains flexible enough to be adapted to local contexts and needs. This balance helps learners connect their education to both global and local realities.
Inquisitive minds
The curriculum at Mayfair School supports holistic development by encouraging children to become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative, and engaged learners—known as the Cambridge learner attributes.
Students are encouraged to ask questions, think critically, and engage actively with their learning. This broad focus helps children grow not just academically but socially and emotionally as well.
