Introducing
Cambridge Insight

After more than 40 years as the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM), we are introducing Cambridge Insight - a new name for our broad range of digital, adaptive, formative assessments from Cambridge.

Together, we make a measurable difference

We provide educational insight into the whole learner. Our digital assessments measure cognitive and non-cognitive abilities, as well as attributes that contribute to educational success. This insight empowers teachers and school leaders to unlock the potential of every learner.

We help schools and groups of schools to better understand, increase and demonstrate the value they can add to students’ lives.

We provide insight assessments, reports and guidance that reveal each student’s unique qualities and allows schools to make strategic decisions on improvements to teaching practices and resource allocation.

Planning for the year ahead using insight data

In this webinar we will be considering how evidence from baseline assessments can be used to inform your planning for the next academic year

"I couldn't imagine deploying Cambridge education without baseline assessments - it is that important. It has given us another dimension for education."

Dr Rolph Balgobin

Founder, The Oxbridge International School (OXIS)

“We use baseline assessments as a gauge of potential for our students when they first come to us in year 7.”

Niall O'Connor

Deputy Head, Academic, Barnard Castle School

"We use Cambridge Insight baseline assessments (MidYIS) and Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary assessments to provide a complete ‘ecosphere’ on our learners."

David Cooksey

Head of Academics, The New English School in Jordan

“Baseline assessments help us understand where the children are starting from when they join us. The standardised scores at the beginning of Reception give us another tool to identify if a child needs support. It gives you further evidence to back up observations.”

Janet Dixon

Headteacher, Barrow Island Community Primary School

"We’ve found the Cambridge Wellbeing Check really helpful in giving us another piece of data which we can use to ensure we are supporting children in the best way we can, both academically and pastorally."

Jessica Evans

Head of Tracking, The Perse Prep School
