Learners in this level complete the primary cycle and prepare for the primary school leaving assessment at the end of Grade 6. 

This stage builds on the foundational skills developed in Lower Primary (Grades 1–3) and expands learners’ competencies in core academic areas, practical skills, and values. It places strong emphasis on the application of knowledge, problem-solving, critical thinking, and holistic development.

Core learning areas include English, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Technology, Expressive Arts, and Home Economics. 
Focus is on competency mastery, integration of practical skills, and continuous assessment.

From Grade Four, students undertake School-Based Assessments (SBAs), a continuous assessment model that contributes to the final primary school leaving Examination. The SBA emphasises experiential learning, research, and hands-on, project-based assignments, fostering creativity, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
