Cambridge Checkpoint Tests offer our students a valuable opportunity to benchmark their academic progress against international standards.<\/p>

These assessments are administered by the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) at the end of primary and lower secondary school. They measure learners\u2019 skills and understanding in English as a first or second language, Maths, Science, and Cambridge Global Perspectives.<\/p>

The results provide a detailed diagnostic report with insights into each student’s strengths and areas where they can grow, empowering our teachers to personalise learning and ensure every child reaches their full potential. Checkpoint also serves as excellent preparation for future academic pursuits, including IGCSE and A Level examinations, equipping our students with the confidence and skills they need to succeed.<\/p>

These exams demonstrate our commitment to providing a world-class education and preparing our students for global success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Assessments are scheduled towards the end of the course and include coursework in written, oral, and practical formats.<\/p>

This creates opportunities for learners to demonstrate their understanding of subjects via different media. Some subjects include a choice between core and extended curricula to suit a wide range of abilities.<\/p>

Tiered assessment structures in some subjects ensure that learners of all abilities are supported, challenged, and allowed to achieve their fullest potential. Student performances are benchmarked on an internationally recognised scale of 8 grades: A* to G.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
