Primary School

Each subject has a Cambridge Primary curriculum framework that provides a clear teaching guidelines for subjects like: English, Mathematics and Science.

English

Cambridge Primary English is a structured course of reading, writing, speaking and listening skills to students aged five to eleven. The programme is based on fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts from around the world that help students effectively develop the critical skills to respond to a range of information. Learners who follow this curriculum framework will develop core language and literacy skills in English. They can also be successful in any culture due to promotion of international themes and mutual understanding.

Mathematics

The mathematics curriculum explores courses that are flexible and practical to implement in the classrooms. The program supports the National Numeracy Strategy and covers the following areas of study: numbers, geometry, measure, processing data and problem solving. Learners are provided with the opportunities to practice their skills and techniques in a variety of contexts. The programme reinforces fluency of number facts and mental calculation strategies. It also provides problem solving activities in real-life settings.

Science

Cambridge Primary Science curriculum is based on the enquiry style of teaching and learning. It stimulates and encourages students to learn skills alongside with the scientific concepts. The lessons are very engaging and interesting for learners because they study scientific concepts through hands-on activities. The areas of content covered by the programme are: scientific enquiry, biology, chemistry and physics.

Assessment is provided to the students on a daily basis. Testing is structured to assess the learner performance and report progress to learners as well as their parents/guardians. The report is available through the secured Electronic diary. All assessments use international benchmarked tests, giving parents extra trust in the feedback they receive.

Cambridge Primary offers high quality support, including teaching materials and training to help plan and deliver the program. Students who struggle get additional help through extra support classes provided by our school which are tailored to individual needs of a learner. Materials available include: teacher guides, resources lists and textbooks prepared by leading educational publishers like: Cambridge University Press, Heinemann, and Oxford University Press.

We are proud to say that all of our classrooms are equipped with modern SMART boards. These SMART boards allow students to explore lessons in the interactive way. They create an interesting environment for learning and give students a wonderful experience.

Our learners can gain knowledge by using computers, tablets and other electronic devices that can be connected to the boards. Thanks to them students can be active in their lessons and comprehend concepts in an easy and more natural way.

As a member of the Cambridge Primary Schools community, our school is a part of the international educational group that supports teachers throughout wide range of activities and events. This community allows educators to exchange knowledge and ideas through different kind of media like social, internet, workshops and conferences.

We as the Complex of Silesian International Schools conduct varies activities around the school to build our own community that involves students, parents and teachers. To get better understanding of the cultures represented by our students we organize monthly event called “International Day of…” where learners discover interesting facts about given culture, customs and cuisine. Our schools promote universal values of respect and understanding to other cultures.
