Primary Global Perspectives (0838)

Course areas

We are delighted to introduce Cambridge Global Perspectives for learners aged 5 to 11 years as part of our primary programme. The programme is now available to teach.

What will students learn?

The programme develops the skills of research, analysis, evaluation, reflection, collaboration and communication. It strengthens the links across English as a first or second language, mathematics, science and ICT Starters.

Research says that the earlier students start to develop and practise their skills, the greater the impact on their learning. Making Cambridge Global Perspectives available to younger students will develop and embed cross-curricular skills at an earlier age, supporting them in their studies as they progress to and beyond.

How is the programme taught?

Cambridge Primary is made up of a series of Challenges. There are six Challenges a year. Teachers can integrate the Challenges into their existing teaching or lessons, and do as many as they like.
The programme is flexible so we choose how we organise teaching, either as one-hour blocks or as a full day, allowing teachers to focus on the Challenge from start to finish. Flexible delivery options is a key characteristic of the programme.

Each Challenge is six hours long, subdivided into a range of activities, and covers a range of skills. The skills are taught through a wide range of topics using a personal, local and global perspective. Teachers help students to look at a variety of global issues or topics that give a range of contexts.

How is Cambridge Primary Global Perspectives assessed?

Throughout the programme, teachers focus on formative feedback on the skills they want students to develop. When a Challenge is completed, teachers can discuss with students ‘what went well’ and how they can improve further, so that students can reflect on, and improve, their performance.

A Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Global Perspectives assessment is available at the end of the final year to assess learner performance. Students produce a team project that is used to assess how skills have developed throughout the programme. Teachers mark the assessment before they are moderated in Cambridge. Learners receive a statement of achievement at Gold, Silver or Bronze level and the school receives a feedback report.
