About the Cambridge Pathway

The Cambridge Pathway is delivered in over 10,000 schools in 160 countries around the world. It is a global curriculum designed to prepare students for life – helping them to develop an informed curiosity and lasting passion for learning. And now it’s available to you online with the support of Gaia educators so you can have a first class education wherever you are and even if you are homeschooling.

Our courses stretch, challenge and inspire students of all abilities and our educators are here to help you to support your children with our materials every step of the way.

Students develop deep subject knowledge, conceptual understanding and higher order thinking skills.

Our mission is equipping parents, teachers and communities with the resources to engage young learners and ensure a solid foundation to their education and a lifelong love of learning for all.

What will students learn?

Your child will develop the digital skills that will help with many aspects of their future learning and development. They will:

  • Understand their place, and the place of others, in an interconnected world and make educated decisions about the information that they encounter online.
  • Develop knowledge and understanding that will allow them to respond to, and evaluate technology of the future.
  • Develop skills to create increasingly sophisticated documents and presentations.
  • Learn how to become positive contributors to the digital world.
  • Use digital technology safely and protect their own physical and emotional wellbeing.

How is the programme taught?

Digital Literacy can be taught as a separate subject or embed the content within broader learning. For example, learners can develop content creation skills while preparing to present their work in mathematics or science, and safety messages can be embedded within cross-curricular sessions about how learners should conduct and protect themselves in the modern world. This course supports progression to Cambridge Lower Secondary Digital Literacy

Personalised resources included with this course:

With this course, students will be provided individual and customised access to a range of subscriptions and course books in digital format including Britannica School.  These fully cover the exam syllabus and/or the English National Curriculum, and are usually endorsed by the relevant exam board. These are included with our courses and offer substantial savings over individual subscriptions.

How is Cambridge Primary Digital Literacy assessed?

There is no Cambridge Primary Progression Test or Checkpoint for this subject.

The emphasis of this course is for teachers to give learners formative feedback on the skills they want students to develop. This can be through discussion, observation and lesson outputs where teachers discuss with students ‘what went well’ and how they can improve further, so that students can reflect on, and improve, their performance.

To support assessment in the classroom, we have produced some guidance that is available on the Cambridge Primary support site.
