Pearson Edexcel iPrimary is not just a curriculum, but a complete teaching toolkit.

As well as the English, Mathematics and Science curricula, developed specifically for the international student, a complete suite of teaching support is included as part of the whole-school package. Exemplar schemes of work, units of work and lesson plans are included for all year groups in addition to fully integrated internal (Progress Tests) and external (Year Six Achievement Tests) assessment, all created through Pearson Edexcel’s World Class Qualifications framework.

In addition, a comprehensive programme of Professional Development support is available face-to-face, via webinar, and as part of our community forum, and the whole teaching and learning solution is supported by Pearson’s world-renowned teaching resources such as Bug Club, Science Bug and Abacus.

The iPrimary curriculum is organised into six year groups, each building on the knowledge and skills of the last. Each provides comprehensive learning objectives that ensure clear targets and progression for students. For iPrimary English, the curriculum contains three main strands, with each split into sub-strands. The curriculum promotes engagement and enjoyment while ensuring students are well placed to achieve highly in later examinations. The strands and sub-strands are:

Spoken Language

• Receptive Language• Expressive Language

Reading• Word Reading and Phonics (up to Year 3)• Word Reading and Accuracy• Literal Comprehension• Inferential Comprehension• Text Structure and Purpose• Grammar for Reading

Writing• Transcription and Phonics• Vocabulary• Composition• Handwriting and Word Processing• Grammar for Writing• Punctuation

The iPrimary English curriculum ensures students engage with a range of text types and learn to communicate effectively in written and spoken English. It provides students with the skills and knowledge they need to access the wider curriculum and gives an excellent platform for later learning.

On the following pages are examples of objectives from the iPrimary English curriculum. These cover Reading: Inferential Comprehension for Years 2, 4 and 6.
