The Cambridge International Lower Secondary Programme (CILSP) is a framework for educational success for the Middle School students that builds on the primary stage, and develops children’s knowledge and skills in Mathematics, English and Science.

CILSP also tracks student progress through the Middle School phase, with an integrated method of teaching, learning and assessment materials.

At the end of Middle School, students sit Cambridge Checkpoint tests which provide detailed feedback on students’ strengths and weaknesses before they move into the High School (IGCSE/O Level) stage.

• International Benchmark
  CILSP offers an external, international benchmark of student achievement. This allows schools to measure standards over time and provide detailed, structured reports.
  Cambridge Checkpoint tests are standardised, set and marked by CIE, so provide an international benchmark of student achievement enabling teachers to advise students and parents of the suitability of different progression routes.
• Monitoring student progress
  The progression tests powered by analysis software provide detailed feedback on students’ strengths and weaknesses in the core skills of English, Mathematics and Science at the end of each stage. This feedback is used regularly to improve teaching, support learning and report student progress.
• The CILSP incorporates a high degree of flexibility as it includes a range of teaching methods and curricula. Our teachers have the liberty to make adaptations whenever necessary, helping them to cater for individual needs.

Links to Other Stages
The CILSP has been developed to link seamlessly with the CIPP and provides standardised tests to allow careful monitoring of progress from primary to lower secondary phases. It also provides excellent preparation for students embarking on IGCSE or O Level courses.
