In this guide we outline the main similarities and differences between them so that you can be assured the standards are equivalent.  \nCambridge curricula  \nCambridge Primary and Lower Secondary programmes include curricula for English, mathematics and science, English as a Second Language and Global Perspectives (from 2018) . Of these only English, mathematics and science are also in the National Curriculum for England.  \nTherefore this document only compares the curricula for these three subjects.  \nCambridge curriculum frameworks reflect the teaching targets for each year group and provide comprehensive learning objectives. The learning objectives provide a structure for teaching and learning and a reference against which learners’ ability and understanding can be checked. It is not compulsory to study all of the subjects and schools can select the elements that are right for their learners.  \nCambridge Primary  \n• Developed for the first six years of schooling  \n– typically for 5 to 11 year olds.  \n• Organised into six stages.  \n• Develops the skills, knowledge and understanding that will prepare learners for a smooth transition to Cambridge Lower Secondary.  \nFor more information visit  \n[www.cambridgeinternational.org/cambridgeprimary](www.cambridgeinternational.org/cambridgeprimary)  \nCambridge Lower Secondary  \n• Developed for the next three years of study  \n– typically for 11 to 14 year olds.  \n• Organised into three stages.  \n• Develops the skills, knowledge and understanding that will prepare learners for a smooth transition to Cambridge Upper Secondary.  \nFor more information visit  \n[www.cambridgeinternational.org/lowersecondary](www.cambridgeinternational.org/lowersecondary)  \n[www.cambridgeinternational.org/cambridgepathway](www.cambridgeinternational.org/cambridgepathway)  \nComparison: Cambridge Primary curricula and the National Curriculum for England  \nCambridge Primary English  \nSimilarities Differences  \n• Extensive. By the end of Stage 6, learners following the Cambridge Primary English curriculum framework will have covered nearly all of the same ground as those following the National Curriculum.  \n• Both curricula teach reading and writing in a progressive way using a phonics approach to early reading and spelling.  \n• As students progress, they develop an increasing selection of strategies for reading and spelling unfamiliar words. The emphasis in reading begins to shift to comprehension and the reading of a wide variety of text types.  \n• In both curricula, writing composition is developed from simple texts through to writing varied texts for different purposes and audiences.  \n• Handwriting in both curricula progresses from learning to form the letters correctly, to beginning to add the strokes needed for joining and, finally, writing legibly and fluently in joined-up handwriting.  \n• The learning outcomes for spoken language are the same in each year of the National Curriculum and ‘the content should be taught at a level appropriate to the age of the student’. In contrast, the outcomes for the Cambridge Primary English framework are more explicit in terms of what is required at each stage – they gradually build in their demand.  \nCambridge Primary Mathematics  \nSimilarities Differences  \n• Extensive. By the end of Stage 6, learners following the Cambridge Primary Mathematics curriculum framework will have covered nearly all of the same ground as those following the National Curriculum. The majority of the statutory and non-statutory learning outcomes from Key Stage 1 and 2 of the National Curriculum are covered in the Cambridge Primary Mathematics framework.  \n• Problem solving remains central to both curricula but the appr","cbCaif47uWjZYKq7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif47uWjZYKq7","pdf",483894,"English","# Cambridge curricula\n## Cambridge Primary\n## Cambridge Lower Secondary\n# Comparison: Cambridge Primary curricula and the National Curriculum for England\n## Cambridge Primary English\n## Cambridge Primary Mathematics\n## Cambridge Primary Science\n# Comparison: Cambridge Lower Secondary curricula and the National Curriculum for England","[{\"question\":\"Which subjects are compared between Cambridge curricula and the National Curriculum for England?\",\"answer\":\"Only English, mathematics, and science are compared.
