Outstanding Checkpoint Results!

I am pleased to announce we have received a fantastic set of Year 9 Checkpoint results.

Our students have scored well above the world average in all categories and in all subjects for a second year running. In English 40% of candidates scored a 4 or higher. In Science 54% of candidates scored a 4 or higher, and 5% of candidates achieved a perfect score of 6.

These results put ISL yet again among the top performing schools in Southern Africa and the world. 

Many heartfelt congratulations to all of out incredible students who have been consistently hard working and prepared. Also huge congratulations to Mr Chizyuka, our outstanding IMYC faculty,  our invigilation team and all parents. 

It takes a village to raise a child and this is certainly true for our ISL community. As we celebrate yet another successful milestone in our children's lives, let's not forget all of the amazing contributions teachers, mentors, friends and family have made in shaping their lives and who they are growing up to be. 

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 Wednesday 20 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.
