3 Identify additional needs early Every classroom has students who need extra support – but what about those learners whose challenges aren’t obvious? Whether it’s a mild support need or a specific form of SEND, Cambridge Insight can help you identify it early as part of a diagnostic assessment. Its adaptive baseline assessments give you a rounded picture of each student’s strengths and gaps, helping you spot patterns that might indicate a speech, language and communication need, dyslexia or other specific learning difficulty.With Cambridge Insight, you don’t just get data – you get clarity, confidence and actionable strategies to improve outcomes for every student.

Using two simple scans, the School Wellbeing Snapshot shows pupils’ social and emotional development, alongside details of how well the school’s provision supports them. Leaders can celebrate what’s working, spot where more help is needed and show the difference their work is making under the new Ofsted framework.
