New to OCR

Why move to OCR?

We offer the flexibility to design your practical work to fit around your facilities, equipment, expertise and current practice. Content is laid out clearly in a series of teaching modules with additional guidance provided to support your understanding of assessment requirements and a section of multiple choice questions in the exams to allow breadth of coverage.

Our offer

Our science team are passionate about science education. With research and teaching experience, they are fully committed to supporting your delivery of our A Level science qualifications.

We provide extensive assessment preparation support, including end of topic quizzes, practice papers and free access to ExamBuilder, to support you and your students in preparing for the assessment. We have also produced a wide range of support materials, from our schemes of work to delivery guides, practical activities and more.

It’s easy to switch

If you’re an OCR-approved centre, all you need to do is download the specification and start teaching.

Sign up to attend a training event, take part in webinars running throughout the year, or attend one of our free teacher network events to meet other science teachers and share their experiences of delivering the OCR course.

We have everything you need to make your move. Start planning your new course and get ready to get practical with OCR.
