The Cambridge Pathway

Tiny Tots Combined School follows the Cambridge Pathway, a globally recognised curriculum used by thousands of schools worldwide. It carries every learner on one continuous journey — from their very first days in the classroom through to internationally recognised secondary qualifications — with each stage building directly on the skills and knowledge developed in the one before it.

Cambridge Early Years is the first stage of the pathway, giving our youngest learners the strongest possible start. The approach is play-based and child-centred, allowing children to explore, make choices, and develop naturally and at their own pace. Rather than formal testing, progress is tracked through ongoing observation, helping teachers understand each child's development across key areas — language, early literacy and numeracy, physical development, and social and emotional growth.

Most importantly, this stage deliberately builds the foundation children need to move confidently into Cambridge Primary when they're ready.

Cambridge Primary builds on those early foundations with a broad, structured curriculum covering English, Mathematics, Science, and a range of other subjects including Digital Literacy, Art & Design, and Cambridge Global Perspectives — a subject that helps learners build research, analysis and communication skills from an early age.

Towards the end of this stage, learners can sit Cambridge Primary Checkpoint assessments, which are marked internationally and give parents clear, detailed feedback on their child's progress against a recognised global standard.

Cambridge Lower Secondary broadens the subject range further and continues to build core skills, with optional Cambridge Checkpoint tests offering an international benchmark of progress — bridging Primary learning into the rigour of the IGCSE years ahead.

Learners progress into Cambridge IGCSE, one of the world's most widely recognised qualifications for this age group. With a wide choice of subjects, IGCSE results are accepted by universities and employers around the world, giving our senior learners a genuinely international qualification to take with them beyond school.
