## Why do Cambridge International schools choose Cambridge Insight?

**Growing from Cedar College, The Cedar School is a newly established secondary school in the city of Karachi, Pakistan**. Taking a holistic approach from Grade 4, learning at The Cedar School takes on Cambridge Global Perspectives and leads into interdisciplinary studies...

Cambridge Insight baseline and diagnostic assessments add huge value to Cambridge International Schools and the quality of its assessment is widely recognised in the UK and globally."

The single thread running through all the grading decisions at The Cedar School has been Cambridge Insight assessments. It has been a vital tool with so many benefits, from setting standards and raising expectations, to helping us support students and staff, to measuring school performance."

> “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.”

Vandana Arora

Principal, Nahar International School, Mumbai, India﻿﻿

> "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."

Vanita Uppal

OBE, Director, The British School, New Delhi, India

> “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.”

Jackline Aming’a

Head of School, Oshwal Academy Mombasa, Kenya﻿

## 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.
