Inspiring young minds
The Bright Cambridge Primary Experience
At Bright International School, we believe a strong foundation is key to helping children thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Our Cambridge Primary Years programme delivers a dynamic curriculum that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving and a lifelong love of learning while supporting holistic development through social, emotional and creative growth.
With a focus on real-world connections, students engage in hands-on activities that make their learning relevant and meaningful. Enquiry and exploration inspire learners to ask questions, investigate topics and actively participate in their education, building the confidence and skills needed for future success.

Understanding How Students Develop
Assessment in Cambridge Primary Years
At Bright, assessment is a key part of the learning journey, ensuring each learner’s progress and development is continuously supported. Our comprehensive approach combines ongoing feedback with structured evaluations to provide an understanding of academic success and personal growth.
Formative assessments are regularly conducted through observations, quizzes, discussions, and classroom activities to monitor learners’ understanding and progress. These assessments offer immediate feedback, helping learners reflect on their strengths and identify areas for improvement.
Personalised insights from formative assessments allow teachers to adapt lessons, ensuring that primary years learners are both supported and challenged. This approach helps students reach their full potential and fosters continuous development throughout their learning journey.
Summative assessments at Bright Cambridge Primary Years include Cambridge Unit Tests, which assess learners’ understanding at the end of each unit. End-of-year and Cambridge Progression Tests evaluate learners’ knowledge in subjects like English, Mathematics, and Science.
These assessments align with global Cambridge standards, preparing learners for the next stage. They celebrate achievements while offering feedback, allowing teachers to support learners’ growth.
