Understanding the LPF

The LPF represents the growth of learners on a developmental continuum as they work towards the Learning Targets and Objectives of the English Language curriculum. This developmental continuum is notionally divided into eight attainment milestones (ATMs) of learning outcomes (LOs). 

Structure of the LPF  |  Relationship between the LPF and the Basic Competency (BC)  |  Use of th LPF

The LPF is derived from the English Language curriculum framework. It outlines the progress of learners within the developmental continuum of learning English from Primary One to Secondary Six. As a subset of the LPF, Basic Competency (BC) represents what learners should attain in relation to the Learning Targets and Objectives as set out in the curriculum by the end of Key Stages One (Primary Three), Two (Primary Six) and Three ( Secondary Three).  BC should not be viewed as the ultimate set of expected levels of performance for all learners. It merely provides a general reference point of what learners need to know and be able to do in order to progress to the next stage of learning.
