New OCR review makes case for curriculum and exams reform
A report published by OCR and chaired by former Education Secretary Charles Clarke warns that the current volume and intensity of exams at GCSE is too high, and an overloaded curriculum is narrowing students’ education.
Our review addresses the curriculum and assessment challenges at Key Stages 3 and 4 – the five years from the age of 11 to 16 which are the core of our secondary school system, focusing on four main areas:
- Reducing the assessment burden
- Digital assessment and learning
- English and maths at 11–16
- Curriculum evolution at 11–16
