The Primary Programme uses a mixture of The National Curriculum of England (UK) and Cambridge to develop English, Mathematics and Science skills in young children across the world. It has been fully adopted at Oonrak and gives our students excellent preparation for Secondary education. Additional subjects such as Music, ICT, Art & Design and Physical Education are also taught from the same curricu
lum. The Primary Programme is designed for children aged 5 – 11; it provides learning objectives for each year of our students' education. It gradually builds the learning steps for children in the primary area before they move onto Secondary education. The curriculum helps both teachers and parents gain a greater understanding of individual student’s abilities. These tests provide information to analyse student’s achievements, strengths and weaknesses, and gives teachers invaluable information to help guide students in the correct direction. The Secondary 1 Programme is a framework for increasing educational success for students in years 7 to 9. This programme builds on the primary stage and develops students' knowledge, skills and confidence in various different subjects across the curriculum. The curriculum is designed to help parents and teachers track the students' process through the lower secondary phase. Throughout the year, assessments will be conducted by the teacher in an informal but productive way. Giving teachers valuable information when tracking students' progress and potential areas of weakness, furthermore at the end of years 7 and 8 students take the progression tests in English, Mathematics and Science. Checkpoint testing will be conducted at year 9 in preparation for the next level of study. These are designed to allow teachers to follow the progress of their students over time and analyse performance within their classes and against an external benchmark.
