New to OCR

Why move to OCR?

• Our GCSE in English Literature is designed to encourage students to engage critically with and explore a variety of texts across the major genres
• Unique to OCR, students have the opportunity to explore unseen modern prose or drama as well as unseen poetry
• We’ve introduced fresh new text choices recommended by teachers alongside more familiar texts drawn from our literary and cultural heritage
• Our straightforward questions and assessment structure means that your students will understand what they need to do and be rewarded for their achievement with our clear hurdle-free mark schemes.
