Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards are a group of awards issued by Cambridge International Education, that recognise exceptional achievement in Cambridge exams around the world. The primary purpose of these awards is to celebrate and recognise the success of Cambridge learners.
All Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge Advanced students are eligible for our 'Top in the World' award, with some eligible at Cambridge O Level too. In those countries/territories where Cambridge exams are taken by more students a wider range of awards are available, including 'Top in Country/Territory', 'Best Across' and 'High Achievement'.
We have prepared awards support items for you to download. These documents will assist you in co-ordinating and hosting your own school awards ceremony to celebrate your students.
