LEGAE ENGLISH MEDIUM SCHOOL

Legae English Medium School is a registered Cambridge International Examination Centre and follows the Cambridge International Curriculum Framework.

The Cambridge International Curriculum Framework is a six-year course and the external Checkpoint Examination at Legae is written following the completion of the 6-year curriculum, in the October of the following year (Standard Seven). There is also external assessment, Cambridge Progression Tests, done after the completion of Standard Three, Standard Four, and Standard Five. This is also done in the April of the following year.

Homework is considered essential to a child’s learning process and an important part of the school day. A School Diary is given to each student in which they record the daily homework. This must be signed every day by the Parent and the Teacher.          

Reading is also part of daily compulsory Homework and each child is given a Reading Record which must be signed daily by both Parent and Teacher.

  • -English

  • -Mathematics

  • -Science

Learners are promoted to the next Standard on merit. Promotion to the next Standard is not automatic. The learner’s academic performance, behaviour, emotional and social development are considered before any decision is made.
