Hi Colleague
With the main exam series beginning next week, we'd like to say good luck to your students and a big thank you for all your hard work preparing them for their first exams. It's been a challenging few years and everyone has worked so hard to get to where we are now. Many of your students are now on the verge of sitting their first exams and will be understandably nervous. Likewise, many of you might be feeling anxious.
We've got lots of support for students to support them in the lead up to their exams, but also to help them on exam day. You'll find a wealth of wellbeing and mental health support and resources too - you might have seen us sharing some for Mental Health Awareness Week.
If you need any further support, take a look at our supporting you webpages. You can also get in touch with our Customer Support Centre or your Subject Team who are on hand to answer any queries you may have.
Recent updates:
In this week's roundup:
- 📅 important deadlines - a reminder!
- a recap of the latest exam guidance from JCQ
- some guidance and tips for your students on exam day
- the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual have confirmed the adaptations in place for 2022 that will be removed next academic year.
Finally, from everyone here at OCR, we'd like to wish you all the best for the upcoming exams!
Best wishes
OCR
