INSIGHT - Introduction

Insight - Looking for a KS3 Replacement

Looking for a KS3 replacement?

With the demise of KS3 SATS many schools are very keen for a replacement assessment system. INSIGHT will not only help fill this void, but go beyond that by providing teachers with a very powerful analysis tool that will help to improve teaching and learning.

Introducing INSIGHT the latest development from CEM

A comprehensive pupil profiling system that measures progress and potential - designed with teachers in mind.

  • KS3 value-added feedback and attitudinal indicators
  • KS4 value-added predictions and feedback
  • Measures of developed ability
  • Value-added from MidYIS data (where applicable)
  • Objective, confidential and reliable
  • User-friendly, computer adaptive assessment

We are pleased to announce that assessment feedback, predictions to GCSE and attitudinal feedback is NOW available for the INSIGHT and SOSCA curriculum based assessments.

INSIGHT and SOSCA, taken at the end of Year 9, are alternatives to KS3 SATs. They offer computer-delivered adaptive assessments in Maths, Science and Reading. Results are reported as Key Stage 3 equivalent levels and standardised scores against nationally representative norms. Progress measures from the MidYIS assessment at the start of secondary school to the end of Year 9 and from the end of Year 9 to GCSE are also included in the cost. 

What does INSIGHT provide?

INSIGHT provides informative measures of developed ability to provide a full picture of what your pupils know and can do. 

It aims to equip users with powerful analyses to support learning and teaching provision in schools. It presents classroom and head teachers with a complete suite of data that builds on CEM’s robust assessment and monitoring foundations to provide a comprehensive pupil profiling facility.

Using INSIGHT teachers will not only be able to get an accurate measure of developed ability, but will also be able to gauge attainment – all integrated within the same system. Furthermore, INSIGHT will provide teachers with school level attitudinal reports – to enable a more rounded understanding of pupils.

INSIGHT is designed to be practical, reliable and flexible. Delivered via a new and advanced computer interface, INSIGHT includes all the CEM facilities teachers have come to know and trust, plus new features for greater ease of use and interaction.
