Primary exams and preparation

Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers are the first milestones in a child's English learning journey. They give learners, teachers and parents a clear idea of progress, skills and next steps, and celebrate every child's result with a certificate. Based on extensive research into how children develop language skills, these exams are designed to give young learners a fun, motivating experience. Becoming familiar with exams early on in a nurturing environment helps build confidence for future learning and assessment.
