Why Cambridge English for Schools is the first choice for teachers

Motivate your students
Our Cambridge English for schools range of exams has been created specifically for children. Topics and tasks are chosen to appeal to the interests and capabilities of young learners and teenagers.

Prove the success of your English language programme
All our exams are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) – the international standard for describing language ability. This means you can give parents objective evidence that their children are making progress and you can set targets for further achievement.

Make English relevant
Our exams cover all four language skills – reading, writing, listening, speaking – and test real communicative language ability. This helps your students develop the skills they need to make friends, study and work using English as an international language of communication.

Improve students’ English one step at a time
Our exams start at beginner level and go through to higher level exams, so your students can improve their English and build their confidence step by step. Every test meets the broader purpose of contributing to students’ learning and progress.
