Terrific Checkpoint Results

I am pleased to announce we have received a fantastic set of results for the candidates who sat the Year 9 Cambridge Checkpoint Exams.

Our students have scored well above the world average in all categories and in all subjects. In Science 40% of candidates scored a 5 or higher. In English 50% of candidates scored a 4 or higher. 

These results put ISL among the top performing schools in Southern Africa and the world. This was our first attempt at undertaking the Checkpoint exams, which was a huge endeavour! 

I would like to congratulate all of our amazing students who were so consistent and diligent in their preparation for these exams! Your efforts paid off, job well done! 

Also huge congratulations to Mr Chizyuka and our outstanding IMYC teachers and a massive thank you to our invigilation team and all parents. All of you made it possible for our students to succeed!

Please note that Cambridge do not release individual candidate results. Our team is currently collating all the data and we will release an individual statement of results to every candidate by Friday 30 July. 

 It is important for us that all candidates receive useful and detailed feedback. We will update you as soon as this is in place. Thank you for your patience and continued support!

Scores on the Cambridge Checkpoint scale are from 0.0 to 6.0 (the highest level of achievement). The scale descriptions below are indicative as learners may show different levels of achievement in different aspects, particularly at the margins of the scale.

A score of 5.0 or more

Learners attaining a score of 5.0 or more have generally shown an excellent level of achievement. They have demonstrated a comprehensive and secure level of understanding, knowledge and skills of the curriculum content, and should be well prepared for the next stage of learning.

A score between 3.0 and 4.9

Learners attaining between 3.0 and 4.9 have generally shown a good level of achievement. They have demonstrated a secure level of understanding, knowledge and skills of most of the curriculum content, but would benefit from a focus on the specific areas of the curriculum they found challenging.

A score of less than 3.0

Learners attaining less than 3.0 have generally shown a limited level of achievement. Whilst demonstrating a basic level of understanding, knowledge and skills of the curriculum content, they would benefit from a focus on all areas of the curriculum they found challenging.
