“The baseline assessment data and reports have given us insight for both teachers and parents alike. Insight (CEM) has given us authentic data which helped us understand more about each student and the factors that play a part in their achievement.”

“We looked at many assessments until we found Cambridge Insight. We liked the fact that Cambridge Insight is part of Cambridge, so it fits well with all of our programmes, and that the assessments were research-based and used extensively in the UK and around the world.”
"Having the Cambridge Insight data throughout all of the disruptions last year was so useful as it gave us scientific evidence to support examination predictions; it was so easy for us to share all of the predictive data and historic data with Cambridge."
“We needed a tool to help us determine the level of learners before they start a course. We also wanted a way of measuring the impact of teaching interventions on learning, and a means of setting realistic teaching targets for teachers. Cambridge Insight tests help us understand each child’s potential. We have found Cambridge Insight data to help us develop informed teaching and learning interventions before the start of each Cambridge course. This has led to better results in Cambridge exams.”

Together, we make a measurable difference.
Cambridge Insight is a range of powerful digital tools developed to improve learning outcomes through data led insight and action.
We help schools and groups of schools to better understand, increase and demonstrate the value they can add to students’ lives.
We provide Cambridge Insight assessments, reports and guidance that reveal each student’s and cohort’s unique qualities.
This allows teachers, department heads and school leaders to make strategic decisions on improvements to teaching practices and resource allocation.
