5. Cambridge International Resources and Support Services This chapter highlights the range of support services and resources we offer to schools that are implementing Cambridge programmes. It gives an overview of the different types of support available and points to where to find more detailed information. The chapter also sets out the next steps for schools planning to introduce Cambridge or to expand their Cambridge offer. We offer a range of support materials and services for teachers. These are aimed both at helping them effectively deliver our programmes and at meeting their professional development needs. All teachers can access this support, regardless of whether their school curriculum is wholly or partially based on Cambridge programmes. For Upper Secondary and Advanced programmes, all our support can be accessed through the School Support Hub: [www.cambridgeinternational.org/support](www.cambridgeinternational.org/support) For our Primary programme, all our support can be accessed via the Primary support site: [https://primary.cambridgeinternational.org](https://primary.cambridgeinternational.org) And for our Lower Secondary programme, all our support can be accessed via the Lower Secondary support site: [https://lowersecondary.cambridgeinternational.org](https://lowersecondary.cambridgeinternational.org)[ ](https://lowersecondary.cambridgeinternational.org)[There are four major areas of support:](There are four major areas of support:) [1](1). curriculum materials and resources 2. professional development [3. school](3. school) improvement services and consultancy 4. help with expanding a school’s Cambridge offer or becoming a Cambridge school. 5.1 Curriculum materials and resources Our new School Support Hub for Cambridge Upper Secondary and Advanced programmes has now replaced the Teacher Support site, making it easier for teachers to find and download the assessment and teaching support materials that they need to deliver Cambridge programmes. We provide a wide range of resources to support teaching and learning, including schemes of work, past papers, mark schemes, example candidate responses and examiner reports. All registered Cambridge schools teaching our Cambridge Upper Secondary and Cambridge Advanced stages should make use of the School Support Hub regularly to find the resources they need. The School Support Hub includes online teacher forums, which are a great way to keep up to date with the global Cambridge community. Cambridge teachers can use them to ask questions about their syllabus and get help and ideas from other teachers and subject experts. Teachers can also use the ‘Community Resources’ area to upload their own resources to share with other Cambridge teachers, or download materials that others have uploaded to use in lessons.

We provide dedicated online support to schools registered to offer Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Lower Secondary. For Primary and Lower Secondary programmes, Progression Tests are end-of-stage tests available for English, English as a Second Language, Mathematics and Science. They are designed to measure learners’ progress and identify their strengths and weaknesses. For the Lower Secondary programme you can choose between paper-based and on-screen versions, depending on which is most suitable for your learners and your school.
