Cambridge Primary Planning, Grounded in the Framework
2,441 Cambridge Primary learning objectives catalogued across 11 subjects, tagged to the framework codes that Cambridge's own Progression Tests and Checkpoint report against. Long term overview through to the individual lesson.

Tools Built for the Cambridge Primary Classroom
Plan, teach and assess against the framework, without leaving the Stage you teach.
Cambridge Planner
A long term overview, a scheme of work, a weekly plan or a single lesson. Every row tagged to real framework objective codes.
Primary Hub
Run the plan with your class, record the assessment, then read coverage and gap analysis objective by objective.
Presentation Maker
Colourful, age appropriate slides for any Cambridge Primary topic, written for internationally accessible contexts.
Live Class Quiz
Hinge questions on the big screen, so you find out what the class understood before you move the lesson on.
Vocabulary Cards
Tier 2 and tier 3 words pre-taught, which matters most to the children learning in a second language.
Matching Games
Question and answer pairs for consolidation, early finishers, and retrieval at the start of a lesson.
What Is Actually Catalogued
Counted subject by subject in the objective catalogue. None of these figures is an estimate.
Cambridge Primary learning objectives, Stages 1 to 6
of them carry a real Cambridge framework code
subjects, from English and Mathematics through to Music
Cambridge Early Years learning statements, EY1 to EY3
Cambridge codes are not one shape, and the planner respects each of them. Core subjects read 3Nf.04. Art and Design carries no stage prefix, so it reads M.01. PE, Wellbeing and Humanities are banded, 123Ui.01. Mathematics carries Thinking and Working Mathematically as a strand of its own, TWM.02.
The 108 objectives that carry no code are all Global Perspectives. Cambridge organises that subject by skill strand and publishes no codes for it at all, so those rows quote the objective in Cambridge's own words. A code a school cannot look up in the framework would be worse than no code.
Eleven Subjects, Objective by Objective
The figure beside each subject is its number of catalogued Cambridge Primary learning objectives across Stages 1 to 6.
Humanities
English
Wellbeing
Mathematics
Science
Physical Education
Global Perspectives
Digital Literacy
English as a Second Language
Art and Design
Music
Computing is a separate Cambridge Primary subject and is not in the objective catalogue yet. Digital Literacy is, all 85 objectives of it. A subject listed in name only would be worse than a subject absent, so Computing waits until its framework has been sourced properly.
Cambridge Early Years Comes With It
1,140 learning statements across the six areas of learning, EY1 to EY3, for the children who arrive before Stage 1.
Early Years is assessed the way early years should be: observation records, portfolios and visual checklists, built around continuous provision, adult led activity and guided play. The objective level coverage and gap analysis loop belongs to Stages 1 to 6.
The Pedagogy Ships With the Framework
You can upload a curriculum. You cannot upload the teaching model it was built on. Cambridge's is written into every plan.
Active Learning
Learners process, collaborate and apply rather than receive. The teacher scaffolds challenge just beyond independent reach, then withdraws the support. Whole class teaching still counts, where it carries discussion and learner response.
Assessment for Learning
Share the learning intention and the success criteria, gather evidence at hinge points with all pupil response, then give comment only feedback tied to those criteria, and time in which to act on it.
Metacognition
Goals and strategies made explicit, strategies modelled by thinking aloud, reciprocal teaching in reading, structured reflection built in. Embedded inside subject teaching, never a separate skills lesson.
All Children Move On Together
Cambridge's own phrase for inclusive differentiation. Adapt what is learned, how it is learned, and how a child shows it, on the same objective, rather than sending different children down separate tasks.
Cambridge Learner Attributes
Confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. Cultivated through the teaching rather than bolted onto it, and tracked as dispositions alongside the objectives.
Four Planning Layers
Long term overview, medium term scheme of work, weekly plan, lesson plan. Each layer inherits the objectives allocated above it, so a week is never planned in isolation from the year.
How It Works
Choose Your Stage and Subject
Stages 1 to 6 for Cambridge Primary, EY1 to EY3 for Cambridge Early Years. The framework for that Stage and subject loads with it, in British English and with internationally accessible contexts.
Plan Against Real Objectives
Objectives drive the activities and the activities drive the resources, never the reverse. Every row is tagged to a genuine framework code, and where Cambridge publishes none the objective is quoted in its own words instead.
Teach, Assess, Then See the Gaps
Record assessment in the Primary Hub and read coverage objective by objective, so what was taught reconciles with what Progression Tests and Checkpoint report against.
