Cambridge Primary Checkpoint

Cambridge Primary assessment

Many schools use the Cambridge Primary testing structure to assess learner performance and report progress to learners and parents. Cambridge Primary assessment uses internationally benchmarked tests, giving parents extra trust in the feedback they receive.

There are two assessment options:

• Cambridge Primary Progression Tests (marked in school)
• Cambridge Primary Checkpoint (marked by Cambridge examiners)

Cambridge Primary Progression Tests

Cambridge Primary Progression Tests provide valid internal assessment of knowledge, skills and understanding in English, mathematics and science. The tests:

• enable learning to be assessed each year
• provide detailed information about the performance of each learner for stages 3, 4, 5 and 6
• enable teachers to give structured feedback to learners and parents
• enable teachers to compare strengths and weaknesses of individuals and groups
• are marked by teachers in your school
• come with clear guidance, standards and mark schemes
• can be used any time in the year, as many times as needed
• can be downloaded from our secure Cambridge Primary support site.

Cambridge Primary provides a unique analysis tool for Cambridge Primary Progression Tests to track learners’ progress. Using test results, teachers can produce detailed reports to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of students and make targeted improvements to teaching and learning. Learners’ results can be compared against their class, school or other schools around the world, and on a year-by-year basis.
