Cambridge Primary Key Stage 2 (8-11 years old) at GIIS KL

Key Stage 2 syllabus or Upper Primary is a four-year programme during which teachers introduce students to advanced levels of skills in all subject areas. Assessments are carried out by teachers and peers to check the progress of the students through exams and integrated progress checkers. These tests - called Cambridge Primary Progression Tests - are marked by the teacher and enable them to track the progression of students.

Students completing Year 6 of Key Stage 2 are also assessed via the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint examinations, following which they are rewarded with a certification of achievement.

Exceptional Academic Results

To offer real and lasting value to our students, we follow a flexible, linear assessment structure to offer a fair and valid evaluation of the students’ progress across the Cambridge Key Stages 1 and 2 programmes. Regular assessments allow us to identify the abilities and gaps in every student, so we can support them in areas they are lacking in.

The right teacher-student ratio can be a remarkable contributor to the academic success of many students. As a low ratio can significantly improve student engagement, we ensure to accept a limited number of students in each class so that they can enjoy balanced growth under the teachers’ mindful supervision.
