Unlock every learner’s potential with a smarter start to the school year

International school leaders and teachers are navigating increasingly diverse classrooms, and reliable, future ready assessment data has never been more crucial.

This September, Cambridge is elevating that experience with the launch of Cambridge Secondary Insight (Baseline)—the next generation of our trusted MidYIS, Yellis and Alis assessments. This enhanced digital tool helps you understand your learners’ potential from day one and build a data-informed strategy for school-wide success.

Why school leaders and teachers will value Cambridge Secondary Insight

Cambridge Secondary Insight delivers a comprehensive suite of cognitive and non cognitive assessments that go beyond curriculum recall to measure true learner potential. 81% of schools currently using our secondary assessments agree that the data is effective in improving student performance. Our goal is to drive that number up by continuously improving the user experience, the quality of the assessments, the data and the insights we provide.

Stronger alignment with the Cambridge Pathway

While the assessment remains curriculum agnostic so that any international school can use it, the mathematics components now map to the Cambridge Mathematics Framework.

Improved accessibility for SEND learners

The updated design expands equitable access, ensuring more students can demonstrate what they truly know and can do.

Reliability for international and bilingual schools

Assessments now maintain a low language load (A2 CEFR), allowing students from a wide range of linguistic backgrounds to show their full potential—giving you data you can trust.

Intuitive dashboards and interactive reporting

Make confident decisions quickly with clearer, more actionable insights that support whole school planning.

A powerful start to your assessment cycle

We recommend that all Cambridge schools begin their annual assessment strategy with Cambridge Secondary Insight. As a key component of our Assess for Success framework, these baseline assessments provide a robust foundation for identifying individual learning needs, improving outcomes, and driving continuous school improvement.

Why it’s a smart time to start now

The first fifty schools registering to use Cambridge Secondary Insight for the first time in September 2026 will have exclusive access to a free smart start consultation with an Insight expert who will review your school data and provide recommendations, answer your questions and give you actionable insights for whole school improvement. Terms and conditions apply^*.

The start of an insightful journey

These improvements to our trusted baseline assessments are only the beginning. In upcoming releases we will be introducing a range of powerful new reports for school groups, teaching and learning guidance, and tools to connect and analyse data from multiple assessment sources.
