Cambridge Primary Checkpoint reports

Many schools use Cambridge Checkpoint to assess learners at the end of the lower secondary programme. The video below walks teachers through our new Cambridge Checkpoint reports which, from 2023, score learners’ performance on a new 0-50 scale within new performance bands.

VIDEO: Information on the new Cambridge Checkpoint reports.

For more information watch a recording of our webinar or download our FAQs where we explain our new 0-50 Cambridge Checkpoint scoring scale, our new performance bands, and how this will be reported to schools.

For English as a first or second language, mathematics and science, the tests are marked in Cambridge.

Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Global Perspectives learners produce a team project that is assessed by teachers and externally moderated by Cambridge International. The feedback report focusses on the performance of the class and moderators decisions.

Feedback reports

Schools use the feedback from Cambridge Primary Checkpoint to make strategic decisions, drawing upon a pool of information and specialist reporting tools that we have built into the tests. You can use the reports 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 group
a whole school cohort
Previous years’ learners.

Learner report

The learner report for each individual learner gives a:

Cambridge Checkpoint score achieved at subject level
mark achieved at strand and sub-strand/skill level
Statement of Achievement that shows the subjects and scores achieved.

Teaching group report

The report for each teaching group (or class) gives:

the average Cambridge Checkpoint score achieved at subject and strand/skill level
a learner distribution across ranges of scores
a table of scores in alphabetical order by learner name with candidate number, strand scores and overall subject scores
a table of learner marks achieved at strand and sub-strand level.

School report

The report at school level gives:

the average Cambridge Checkpoint score for each subject
the average score for each strand/skill
the average scores achieved in the past five years
an international average that shows the average score per subject/strand for all schools in the cohort.

End of series report

We also include a Principal's Examiner report for schools, which provides qualitative information on your students. The report includes types of learner responses and areas where they performed well and common errors made on each part of the exam question.
