Primary School

The Herrington Primary Programme builds a strong academic and moral foundation for learners aged 6 to 11 years, fostering confidence, curiosity, and bilingual communication skills through a rigorous yet balanced curriculum. By integrating the Cambridge Primary Curriculum (UK) with the MoEYS National Curriculum (Cambodia), Herrington ensures that every student achieves international academic standards while staying deeply connected to their Khmer heritage and values.

 

At this stage, learning shifts from play-based discovery to structured, inquiry-driven study. Students begin to think independently, communicate effectively, and collaborate meaningfully developing essential skills for lifelong success.

Cambridge Primary + MoEYS National Curriculum

Herrington’s Primary School offers a dual academic pathway that aligns the best of Cambridge and MoEYS standards within an integrated bilingual framework.

Children build strong foundations through subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Reading, ICT, Art, Global Perspectives, Physical Education, and Khmer Language. With hands-on learning, integrated technology, and inquiry-based activities, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, digital literacy, and cultural pride. Our curriculum ensures every child grows confidently as a capable, curious, and well-rounded learner prepared for the future.
