In our Primary School we use the Cambridge Primary curriculum for the core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science.

The English National Curriculum (with suitable adaptions to reflect our international nature and central European location) is the base for other subjects such as Geography, History, Music, Art and Design, Design and Technology, Physical Education, ICT (Information and Communication Technology / Computers), German, PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and Citizenship.

Slovak and German for natives use their own national standards and Slovak for foreigners our own school curriculum.

The Cambridge Primary programme provides subject content, planning and resource guides, guidance for curriculum implementation and development, plus support for classroom teaching and student learning.  Because it is a programme which has been developed with consistent standards that are externally benchmarked across thousands of students, it enables reliable structured reporting to parents about the performance of their children, which has validity beyond the school.  

Cambridge provides two types of test for use at the end of a stage (school Year) and at the end of the primary programme (end of Year 6): Cambridge Primary Progression Tests and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint. 

Cambridge Progression Tests are available for English, Mathematics and Science for stages 3 to 6.  They are used internationally and are marked at school using full mark schemes and marking guidance provided by Cambridge.   The tests are optional and the results are just for school use or reporting to parents. 

Cambridge Primary Checkpoint is a diagnostic assessment tool for the end of the Cambridge Primary programme in English, Mathematics and Science (end of Year 6).  The tests are again optional and it is not required that they be taken in order to progress to Cambridge Secondary 1 in our Secondary School.  Students have to be entered for the tests with Cambridge and the question papers are issued from and returned to Cambridge for marking.  Analysis and certificates are provided to the school by Cambridge after about two months.
