Stand out from the crowd
Primary and secondary schools throughout the world offer their students successful programmes leading to Cambridge English exams and using learning materials from Cambridge University Press.
Schools that commit to working more closely with both organisations can access additional benefits and stand out from the crowd by becoming a Cambridge English School.
What is a Cambridge English School?
Schools that meet certain criteria can become a Cambridge English School. Becoming a Cambridge English School means you can access additional benefits and support for your school, such as teacher development, marketing support and access to a Cambridge English logo and plaque.
The Cambridge English School programme has four elements:
- Use a programme structure that links to international standards
- Prepare your students for Cambridge English exams
- Use Cambridge English materials for your courses
- Develop your teachers using Cambridge English support
When you become a Cambridge English School, we can support you in a number of ways with your marketing and communications, making it easier for you to get your message across.
1. Use a programme structure that links to international standards
Every school is unique – you have your own vision and goals for your school. Cambridge English can help you align your goals to internationally recognised standards. This helps parents, teachers and other stakeholders understand your vision and your ambition.
We are part of the University of Cambridge, the world’s number one university, and committed to excellence in education.
Our work is backed up with extensive research and validation. Exams and materials are based on a deeper understanding of how English works and how students learn. We have built the largest corpus of language learner data in the world, and we are continually gaining new insights into how we can support learners.
Cambridge English has been a leading organisation in the development of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This gives us unrivalled expertise in understanding how the framework applies to schools around the world. We are leading a research programme to define the vocabulary, grammar and functional English mastered at each CEFR level – the English Profile Programme.
We can offer you a range of curriculum services to ensure your school meets international standards

3. Use Cambridge University Press materials for your courses
Cambridge University Press course materials help children learn. We stimulate their curiosity, open up their imagination and make learning fun, using carefully designed materials that support teachers and learners every step of the way.
There are also plenty of online materials, workbooks, reference resources, games and videos – to support those children who need extra help, and to stretch those children who need a greater challenge.
