Cambridge Primary Checkpoint is designed to assess learners at the end of Cambridge Primary (stage 6). It is available in English, mathematics and science. It gives valuable feedback on learners’ strengths and weaknesses before they progress to the next stage of education and provides schools with an external international benchmark for learner performance. Each learner receives a statement of achievement from Cambridge.
Feedback reports
Schools use the feedback from Cambridge Primary Checkpoint tests to make strategic decisions, drawing upon a pool of information and specialist reporting tools that are built into the tests.
The Cambridge Primary Checkpoint feedback reports enable teachers to:
- Tailor individual learning programmes
- Monitor group and individual performance
- Compare the performance of all learners taking tests in that session
- Manage learning programmes within schools and as learners move between schools
The test feedback measures a learner’s performance in relation to:
- The curriculum framework
- Their teaching groups
- A whole school cohort Previous years’ learner.
