Introducing Cambridge OCR

Who we are

At Cambridge OCR, we're committed to making assessment straightforward, so each student has the chance to show their true ability. Every aspect of our process is continually scrutinised, so we’re certain it's as clear and fair as possible.

We’re constantly striving to make our assessments more accessible. Whether it’s the language, format or the examples and contexts given, we're always challenging ourselves to offer the most student-friendly experience possible. That means every student has the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

We’re also rigorous about consistency, year on year and across subjects – in terms of assessment, resources and support. So you and your students can fully prepare and approach assessments with confidence.

Give every student the chance to achieve the results they deserve – regardless of background, learning differences or future pathway. Choose Cambridge OCR.

With our diverse range of general and vocational qualifications, your students can progress with confidence.

By using Plain English principles and relatable language (other than where we must use subject-specific words), students understand what they're being tested on.

Read some of the ways that we're using clear, accessible language across our resources and materials – through consistent terminology, supportive resources and tools like the English Language Accessibility Checker.

We partner with external experts to make sure our assessments are accessible to everyone. We also engage with accessibility specialists, including SEND and EDIB experts in schools, colleges and organisations, to help us to understand what makes our assessments clear and relatable.
