Cambridge school management system for IGCSE schools in Kenya
Cambridge usually ends up on a spreadsheet. Run it on its own terms, alongside CBC in the same school.
Enaton manages Cambridge schools in Kenya, from IGCSE to AS and A level: year groups, subject options, the grading structures Cambridge actually uses, and reports in a format parents of international learners expect. It runs beside CBC/CBE or 8-4-4 in the same school, so a dual curriculum school needs no second system.
| Learning area | Level | Teacher note |
|---|---|---|
| English Language | A | Excellent writing |
| Mathematics | B | Secure on algebra |
| Biology | A* | Outstanding practicals |
| Chemistry | C | Practise calculations |
| Geography | D | Needs case studies |

What it does
Enaton manages Cambridge schools in Kenya, from IGCSE to AS and A level: year groups, subject options, the grading structures Cambridge actually uses, and reports in a format parents of international learners expect. It runs beside CBC/CBE or 8-4-4 in the same school, so a dual curriculum school needs no second system.
Structure
- Year groups and the subjects offered in each
- Subject options per learner, because two learners in the same year rarely take the same set
- IGCSE, AS and A level year groups, each with its own subject sets
Show all 5
- Department subjects, for schools organised that way
- Subject teachers assigned across year groups
Assessment and grading
- Grading structures configured to match Cambridge reporting rather than a local percentage scale
- Internal assessment through the year, tracked per learner and per subject
- Mocks and internal exams, with the same handling as any other assessment

- Performance tracked across terms and years so a trend is visible
One school, two curricula
The parent of a Cambridge learner and the parent of a CBC learner both open the same portal and both see something that makes sense for their child. The bursar bills both from the same fee structure logic. The director sees one set of numbers for the school, not two that have to be added together carefully.
Who it helps
-
Heads of the international section stop maintaining a private spreadsheet.
-
Principals get one view of the whole school.

How it works
Set up year groups and the subjects offered in each
Choose the subject options for each learner, not each class
Record internal assessment and mocks through the year
Release the report in Cambridge format to the parent portal

International sections get squeezed into a local template
A Kenyan school running Cambridge alongside CBC usually ends up with two half solutions. The main system handles the local curriculum, and the Cambridge section is run on spreadsheets by whoever understands it, because the system cannot represent year groups, subject options or the grading properly.
That works until the person who maintains the spreadsheets leaves, or until a parent paying international fees asks why their report looks like it was made in a hurry.
How Enaton handles it
Cambridge is set up on its own terms. Year groups rather than Kenyan class labels, subjects chosen per learner rather than fixed per class, and grading structures that match how Cambridge reports rather than being mapped onto a local scale.
Everything else, the fees, the parent portal, attendance, transport and communication, is shared with the rest of the school. The learner is one record with the right academic structure attached, not a separate database.
Related modules
- CBC Enaton runs CBC, now also called CBE, the way it is actually structured: learning areas, strands, sub strands and objectives, with competency based grading rather than a percentage wearing a new label.
- 8-4-4 Enaton runs 8-4-4 properly: subjects and their papers, marks entered once, grading and points applied by the rules your school sets, and mid term, end term, mocks and merged exams handled without rebuilding a spreadsheet each time..
- Exams and report cards Enaton turns marks into reports without an end of term scramble.
Questions we get about this
Can Cambridge and CBC run in the same school?
Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons schools move to us. Each curriculum keeps its own structure, subjects and grading while sharing fees, the parent portal, attendance and everything else.
Does it handle subject options per learner?
Yes. Cambridge learners in the same year group rarely take an identical set, so subjects are assigned per learner rather than fixed to a class.
Can we use our own report format?
Report formats and grading structures are configured per curriculum, so the Cambridge report does not have to look like the CBC one.
2 more questions
Do we need a separate system for A Level?
No. AS and A level are handled as their own year groups and subject sets within the same school.
Does it support a school with two curricula, such as Cambridge and CBC/CBE?
Yes. A dual curriculum school runs both in one system. Each keeps its own subjects, grading and report, and they share fees, the parent portal and attendance.
