The Cambridge Primary (ages 9 to 11) and Cambridge Lower Secondary (ages 11to14) assessment frameworks evaluate student performance, measure academic growth, and prepare learners for higher-level qualifications like the IGCSE.

1. Formative Classroom Assessments
Purpose: Continuous, informal feedback used directly in the classroom during the school year.
Subjects: Art & Design, Digital Literacy, Music, Physical Education, Modern Foreign Languages
Teachers use discussions, practical projects, and guided tasks to identify strengths and areas for growth rather than issuing formal exam grades.

2. Cambridge Progression Tests
Purpose: Internal assessments used to track individual and class progress from year to year.
Core Subjects: English, Science, Math, Computing, French, Hindi, Functional Marathi
Tests are provided by Cambridge but marked internally by school teachers. Schools can administer them at any point in the year to generate detailed diagnostic reports on student learning gaps.

3. Cambridge Checkpoint Assessments
Purpose: Comprehensive external benchmark assessments taken at the end of key education stages.
Subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, and Global Perspectives
Marked externally by Cambridge examiners (except Global Perspectives, which is teacher-marked and externally moderated). Students receive an official Cambridge Statement of Achievement with diagnostic performance scores benchmarked against global standards.

4. Baseline Assessments (Cambridge Insight)
Purpose: Computer-adaptive baseline tests taken at the start or end of an academic year.
Measures underlying academic potential and core cognitive abilities to help schools set realistic target grades and plan personalized learning interventions.
