Cambridge English for Schools
Cambridge English exams are increasingly being used in primary and secondary education around the world. To make them more appealing and accessible, we offer a range of qualifications which are specially tailored to suit the interests of school pupils and young learners.
Encouraging excellence in language learning
Following extensive research, we have developed a series of exams and tests specifically designed for use in schools. They support and encourage positive learning and teaching, ensuring that pupils have the communication skills they need in order to use English effectively.
Success in the initial stages of their language learning increases pupils’ motivation to learn and inspires enthusiasm to carry on learning. They can then progress to our higher level exams that are recognised by colleges, universities, employers and governments around the world.
Cambridge English exams are known and recognised globally, and are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) – the international system for describing language ability.
We offer a wide choice of different tests and levels that complement existing curriculum programmes and provide a clear structure for effective learning. They start from certificates aimed at the youngest learners and progress to examinations for more advanced students.
