The Upper Primary stage is a three-year program for Grades Five, Six, and Seven, culminating in an examination at the end of Grade Seven. Learners are prepared for the primary school leaving examination and attain a level Grade Seven certificate, a key requirement for progression to Grade Eight, equivalent to Level 1 certification of the Zambia qualification framework.

At the end of Grade Seven, learners sit for examinations in the core subjects.
