Right tier, brighter path: Using baseline assessments to unlock GCSE (9-1) Maths success
Tuesday 27 January, 4pm (UK)
Webinar information
Deciding whether students should take Foundation or Higher tier GCSE Maths is a critical choice that can shape their success. Place students too low, and they may be under-challenged; place them too high, and they risk disengagement or underperformance. Starting with an adaptive baseline assessment provides a clear, data-driven understanding of students’ current abilities, strengths and areas for development.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how our secondary baseline assessments can help you better understand your students’ abilities and put them on the path to improvement. You’ll learn how our prediction charts and chances graphs can highlight where students are most likely to succeed in their GCSE maths, enabling you to make informed tiering and targeted support decisions.
You’ll discover how we help schools to:
- Quickly identify students’ strengths and weaknesses in maths, including logical thinking, number manipulation and key numerical concepts
- Accurately predict how your students are likely to perform at GCSE and A Level
- Set motivational, realistic goals that challenge students without overwhelming them
- Inform subject choices and targeted interventions that maximise exam success
- Visualise progress and outcomes for students and parents, making learning goals tangible
- Determine the suitable GCSE maths tier for students
Cambridge Insight data provides a clear picture of your students’ cognitive strengths and areas for development, helping you to adjust teaching strategies and resources to maximise learning outcomes.
Who is this for?
This webinar is ideal for Principals, Vice Principals, Head Teachers, Deputy Heads, Heads of Department and Teachers.

We hope to see you there!
