Great news! We have recently launched a new Twitter account @OCR_RS – please follow for news and updates about CPD, networks, textbooks, resources etc.
The focus will be on assessment – with feedback from the first GCSE and A level exams this year and marking activities. We aim to hold events around the country. Further details will be available soon:
We will be running network meetings for Religious Studies next year.
These events will focus on the new GCSE and A levels for first teaching from 2016. They provide a fantastic opportunity for teachers to discuss the specifications and share ideas and best practice with each other and the OCR Subject Advisor.
The meetings are facilitated by the OCR Religious Studies Subject Advisor, Ewan Brady. If you are interested in attending a network meeting please let us know at religious.studies@ocr.org.uk
Textbooks and other resources
Our publishing partner, HodderEducation has published endorsed textbooks for Year 1 and Year 2 A level Religious Studies. They have also published revision guides
Polity has published an endorsed textbook for Religion and Ethics and are publishing an endorsed textbook on Philosophy of Religion. They have also published a textbook for GCSE Religious Studies which covers Philosophy and Ethics applied to Christianity and Islam.
Reports to Centres (Examiners Reports) are planned to be available late September. Candidate answers and commentaries from the 2018 GCSE and A level exams are planned for most GCSE and A level papers.
