Edexcel International Primary Curriculum Giving young pupils the best possible foundation for a world-class education
What is the Edexcel International Primary Curriculum? The Edexcel International Primary Curriculum has been designed for pupils in Years 3 to 6 (ages 8-11) in international schools. It is based on the UK National Curriculum ‘Key Stage 2’ and provides and easy-to-implement framework for a full, engaging and inspiring curriculum. With a focus on English, Mathematics and Science, the Edexcel International Primary Curriculum gives pupils a wellrounded education, whilst enabling their teachers and parents to easily monitor their progress. Importantly, this curriculum also prepares pupils for life-long learning – whether they progress onto Edexcel qualifications or not.
Why was Edexcel International Primary Curriculum developed? Edexcel has worked with international schools for many years, offering its acclaimed International GCSE and GCE A Level programmes to pupils 14+. We know from talking to our schools that there is a real need for an international curriculum for younger pupils that can prepare them for their studies at secondary level and beyond. The Edexcel International Primary Curriculum thus brings together a framework for the three key subjects - English, Mathematics and Science - to give pupils a head-start in learning well before they start secondary school.
