Insight assessments

Measure and unlock potential with Insight assessments

Cambridge Insight digital assessments measure cognitive and non-cognitive abilities, as well as attributes that our research has demonstrated contribute to educational success.

From baseline assessments, attitudes and personal styles questionnaires, to wellbeing checks, we help schools and groups of schools to better understand, increase and demonstrate the value they can add to students’ lives.

We use the highest quality data to generate detailed reports and accurate predictions that help teachers understand the unique needs of every student and cohort, so schools can make the informed strategic decisions that best prepare their students for their future.

Insight is at the very heart of what our digital assessments provide.

It’s our insight that empowers schools to unlock the potential of every learner, so that together, we make a measurable difference.

Baseline assessments

Our baseline assessments help teachers turn data into knowledge and actionable insights that improve outcomes for learners. With our quick baseline assessments, schools can unlock learners’ full potential and get a holistic picture of their skills and abilities in key areas including maths, arithmetic, reading, spelling and developed ability (problem-solving skills, memory, reasoning abilities, and overall aptitude for learning). At Cambridge, we have been at the forefront of research into digital baseline assessment for 40 years and Cambridge Insight assessments are used in 127 countries. We help teachers turn data into actionable insight, bridging the gap between research and practice.

What is baseline assessment and why is it important?

Baseline assessments give you an objective measure of students’ cognitive and non-cognitive skills at the point they are tested.

Instant insight

The valuable insights help teachers to develop tailored teaching plans, make grade predictions, create a positive learning environment and make informed decisions that focus on transforming the outcomes of their students.

Our baseline assessments can be used when a learner starts a new stage or joins a new school to get instant insight into their strengths and areas for improvement.

All of our baseline assessments are digital, with no paperwork or marking required. Results and reports are generated automatically and delivered online.

Curriculum independent

Our baseline assessments use data from over 650,000 assessments to measure skills important for gaining curriculum knowledge.

Unlock potential

For these reasons, baseline assessments are a key tool for schools and teachers to add value to their students’ education and unlock their true potential.

Baseline assessment and the Cambridge Pathway

Although you can use them alongside any curriculum, Cambridge Insight baseline assessments are the perfect tool for teachers delivering the Cambridge Pathway. Cambridge’s baseline assessments support sequenced learning across all stages of the Cambridge Pathway and help teachers take their students along the route to educational success.

Attributes Insight

In addition to our range of baseline assessments, the Cambridge Insight team have developed the Cambridge Wellbeing Check to provide schools with a way to measure and manage the wellbeing of students.

The Cambridge Personal Styles Questionnaire (CPSQ) provides an assessment on a number of attributes important to success in school and work environments, such as communication styles and attitudes to learning.
