Accurately measuring a student’s potential and progress can transform learning and help us to make informed decisions about your child’s learning journey, their educational needs and where to focus our teaching efforts.
We can monitor your child’s development through progress checks and assessments that are built into the programme
Computer-based assessments to measure and benchmark learners’ potential and identify learning needs.
Teachers can assess some subjects in the classroom and discuss with your child ‘what went well’ and how to improve further.
Cambridge Primary Progression Tests help teachers understand your child’s strengths throughout the school year and areas where they need more help. These short tests indicate where your child is on their learning journey, instead of just showing right or wrong answers.
Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests are marked externally by Cambridge International and can be taken in the final year of Cambridge Primary. Your child will receive a statement of achievement and your school will receive detailed feedback about their performance.
We believe in an education that takes your child further.
That’s why we have designed Cambridge Primary to give students a strong foundation, helping them thrive throughout school, work and life.
